Experienced and certified New Jersey birth doula services, childbirth and breastfeeding education, placenta encapsulation services, and lactation support with Britt Sando CD(DONA), LCCE, IBCLC.
“She stood in the fire with me. She will crack a joke, put your sister on FaceTime, make you incredible placenta pills, and be there for your texts weeks later when you think your baby has a tongue tie and you might have mastitis — basically she is everything. SO YEAH 11 out of 10 for Britt Sando. She is Dope AF.”
I love this job. Heart racing on the way to a birth, singing once the baby's here. But a lot of it is quieter — staying available, answering small questions, validating your experience. Not glamorous but it's the part that means you're never doing this alone.
Birth matters — and so does everything before and after it. Our systems weren't built to support the individual or the growing family, and too many practices undermine connection between parents and their babies. Bringing a human touch to the table changes everything for families. I care about YOU.
I'm Britt Sando — birth doula, childbirth educator, and lactation consultant, serving northern NJ at Hummingbird Doulas since 2002. Home birth, hospital, birth center, VBAC, or anything that arises on the way: I'll help you find your path, with less stress and more joy.

Birth Doula Services
Studies show that continuous labor support improves outcomes — less intervention, shorter labors, higher satisfaction with the birth experience. Having someone who knows the room, knows the system, and knows you makes a difference. I'm here to help you navigate pregnancy, birth, and those first tender postpartum days — so you are informed, supported, and less alone in all of it.

Childbirth and Breastfeeding Education
Knowledge doesn't just reduce fear — it changes what's possible. My childbirth and breastfeeding classes are honest, practical, and fun. Private or group, in office or online, they're built around your specific situation, not a one-size-fits-all curriculum.
-
Placenta Encapsulation
Your placenta is rich in hormones, protein, and iron — and many families find that encapsulating it supports their postpartum recovery. I prepare it raw and dehydrated, encapsulated into vegan pills, with a tincture and cord keepsake included. Pick up and delivery are included.
-
Lactation Support
Feeding your baby is an important part of your role as a parent — but that doesn't mean the beginning comes easily. I offer free weekly lactation circles in Madison and monthly in Flanders at The Midwives of New Jersey, plus private support when you need more than a group setting. Real-world, judgment-free help from someone who has seen a lot of dyads navigating the feeding relationship, and knows that there is an infinite number of right paths.
