At Bridgetown Baby we are passionate about expanding access to inclusive care for all families. We’ve been delighted to partner with entities like The Lactation Network, to provide feeding support to parents covered by 7 global insurance carriers, and Portland New Family Fund, to offer postpartum and lactation care to families living on the economic margin.

We’re excited now to join the network of providers offering postpartum doula care and feeding lactation support via Carrot.
