Mothering mentors
Humans evolved to live in small communities with extended family at hand, rather than state-provided midwives. The Dublin Community Mothers programme involves an experienced mother volunteering to visit a new mother as a formal ‘friend’, on a monthly basis for the first year of the baby’s life.
See if there is a group near you here http://mentoramother.org/become-a-mentor/
Wish there was something like that where I live. I would even pay.
