Sara Skiles is the owner and Family Care Coordinator at the Wichita Baby Company, as well as our sister brand Wichita Doula, LLC.
Sara has been a doula caring for new families since 2013, when she first realized that parents needed sensitive, professional, and modern support when experiencing pregnancy and parenting a newborn.
As a birth doula, she coaches and supports the parents through labor and delivery, usually alongside their OB-GYN at the hospital or birth center or their choice.
As a postpartum doula, Sara cares for the new family to help them have a peaceful and smooth transition to life with a baby. She ensures that the new parents get to sleep, eat, shower, have a tidy home, and receive help with issues such as breastfeeding struggles and postpartum depression.
As a newborn care specialist, Sara helps the new parents to get off to a fantastic start with their infant. By coordinating an age-appropriate and scientifically-based feeding and sleeping schedule during the day, and/or overnight infant care shifts, she helps ensure that the whole family avoids harmful sleep deprivation and exhaustion.
Sara is highly experienced and trained in a wide variety of situations, including prematurity, twins, special needs, infant feeding and sleeping challenges, postpartum depression and anxiety, tongue ties, and much more. Her clients describe her as serene, competent, loving, and knowledgeable.
