Who We Are…

In a busy New York City hospital, we care for families at one of life’s most powerful crossroads, birth and the early days of parenthood. With every delivery, every feeding, and every quiet question in the middle of the night, we walk alongside parents as they navigate the unknown.

Our work is grounded in clinical expertise, but it’s shaped by something more: presence, patience, and deep respect for the transition into parenthood. We’ve seen the joy, the fear, the strength, and the tender moments that often go unseen.

This blog is our way of sharing those stories. It’s a look inside the real experience of having a baby today—from the delivery room to the first days at home. Through honest reflections and practical insight, we hope to offer guidance, reassurance, and a sense of connection to anyone walking this path.

Welcome to our world—where new life begins, and where we are honored to care for the people bringing it into the world.

 

With Love,

Kirsten and Carole
