What It Is

Birth and Baby Services is a maternity and postpartum support service based in New York, USA, with Kris Bailey as its central practitioner. It is not a traditional large-scale online course platform; instead, it focuses on localized services such as doula birth support, private childbirth education, postpartum care, feeding consultations, and parent coaching, combining educational guidance with hands-on support.

Core Services and Course Scope

According to the website, Kris Bailey has been active in the field of birth and postpartum wellness since 2014, offering services as a birth doula, postpartum doula, parent coach, and childbirth educator. She is also a certified lactation counselor and is currently undergoing training as a fertility advocate. The course and guidance content includes private childbirth education, creating flexible birth plans, pain-management methods such as breathing, movement, hydrotherapy, and massage, as well as postpartum newborn care and support for breastfeeding, bottle feeding, and formula feeding. Services cover hospital births, birth centers, and home births, and the site also mentions additional support for families experiencing miscarriage, pregnancy or infant loss, and abortion.

Pricing and Payment

Pricing is not publicly listed. The website states that fees vary depending on the service and level of support, and users can contact the provider for detailed pricing. It also offers flexible payment options and payment plans, and accepts Carrot Benefits. Regarding refunds, if services have already begun, unused hours may be refunded or converted into virtual care; however, deposits and paid fees may be non-refundable in cases of partial cancellation or unused services.

Pros and Cons

The main advantage is strong continuity of support, covering pregnancy preparation, on-site birth support, and postpartum recovery. Its philosophy emphasizes evidence-based, non-judgmental, and inclusive care. It also states that it can support a range of birth preferences, including natural birth, medicated birth, C-section, and home birth. The downsides are that the public information is not very structured, and specific pricing, course duration, package details, and certifying organizations are not clearly listed. The website also contains repeated text and a few formatting issues. It is important to note that a doula does not replace a doctor, midwife, or medical care.

Who It’s For

This service is best suited to expectant and postpartum families in New York City and surrounding areas, especially those seeking one-on-one childbirth education, labor support, partner support, and in-home postpartum care. Users with clear requirements around budget, certification bodies, or course curriculum should schedule a consultation first and request a written scope of services.

Access from China

There is no clear information about the website’s accessibility from mainland China, so its status is unknown. Since the service relies heavily on in-person delivery in New York, its practical value for users in China is limited unless they plan to give birth in New York or need remote consultation.
