Kara Sutton Postpartum Doula Services

Kara Sutton Postpartum Doula Services My name is Kara Sutton. I was born and raised in Marietta, Ga, with a few short runs living on the west coast and traveling the world.

I love my husband, cat, chickens, family, friends and above all, God. I am a Postpartum Doula in the Metro Atlanta Area. I provide services to families shortly after the arrival of their new baby. These services may include breast feeding support, newborn care, help with sibling adjustment, grandparent classes, light cooking, light housekeeping and errands. Perhaps NY most important service is off

ering emotional and physical support to the new mom and family. I have experience with premies, multiples, and special needs.

KellyNaturally.com | The Car Seat Screamer Blues

Great little read with some great tips for those babies who are fussy in the car!
