Kind words

What families say

As first-time parents, my husband and I quickly realized that you truly don’t know what you don’t know! We met virtually with Nurse Alejandra for a prenatal consultation, and she helped us feel much more prepared for those first days with our baby. She patiently and expertly walked us through what to expect during the first 24 hours, soothing techniques, feeding, sleep, and practical newborn care.

Since the birth of our son, Physician Assistant Christina has continued to be an incredible resource, particularly with breastfeeding and sleep strategies. Her guidance is practical, reassuring, informed by the latest evidence, and driven by a genuine passion for supporting parents and their little ones.

Both Alejandra and Christina are kind, compassionate, understanding, and completely nonjudgmental, making us feel comfortable asking all of our new-parent questions.

We are so grateful to have Nest & Cradle as a resource and would highly recommend their services to both first-time and seasoned parents. No matter how much experience you have, there is always more to learn, and every baby is different!

It was really helpful to speak to someone with experience and who is invested in understanding your child and your values. My wife and I felt more confident after placing the experience with our first child in a broader context where we could appreciate what was doing well and what needed to be improved as well as what we should be paying attention to.

Our mission

Our mission is to help strengthen families through one of life’s biggest transitions.

About Nest & Cradle

Clinician-led, and built around your family

Nest & Cradle was founded by a board-certified neonatologist after recognizing a recurring gap in support for new parents. Between prenatal appointments and routine newborn visits, families are often left with practical questions about feeding, sleep, newborn behavior, and what to expect—without a trusted place to receive clear, personalized guidance.

We created Nest & Cradle to fill that gap with evidence-informed education and practical support tailored to each family. Our goal is to help parents enter the newborn period feeling better prepared, more confident, and less alone.

Sessions are led by carefully selected registered nurses and certified physician assistants with substantial experience caring for newborns and supporting their families. Every Nest & Cradle coach also completes our structured newborn education and coaching program, developed specifically for Nest & Cradle with multidisciplinary input from neonatology, lactation, and pediatric occupational therapy. This preparation helps our coaches translate trusted newborn guidance into practical, individualized support that families can use at home.
