LILIAN JAMES
postpartum doula
Lilian has over 30 years of professional experience caring for newborns and infants. Her passion is exactly this and it was only natural that she trained as a Newborn Care Specialist. And also a Dona trained Postpartum Doula.
​
In her college days, she took Child Development classes and ran a Home DayCare while her four children were growing up. Also, worked as an infant nanny for many years after.
​
As a night NCS and Postpartum Doula she helps mamas with their breastfeeding journey. I also help with gentle sleep conditioning so that the whole family can get much needed rest.
​
She lives in Mountain View with her youngest son. She loves spending time at the beach with her kids. She also loves reading, art and crocheting all baby things. Especially making octopus for preemies!
Lilian has been supporting me since my daughter was only 5 days old. We hired her for night support. My daughter now is one month old. She has been absolutely wonderful and we get excited every time she is scheduled to come in. Lily is so knowledgeable and has given me so much information on breastfeeding and keeping up my milk supply. She’s been so good with my daughter and also giving us great suggestions on which kind of swaddles and sleep sacks work best. She has been working on healthy sleep habits for our whole family. I feel so grateful to have found her. She is always on time and is flexible when asked to stay an extra hour in the morning. We have asked her to extend our contract and we are so glad she accepted. We completely trust her and would whole heartedly recommend her to be of great help to any family. - Christy
