FAQs

Becoming a parent comes with lots of questions. At Mothergood, we’re here to give you clear, evidence-based answers. Below you’ll find some of the most common questions families ask about our services offered in newborn care, postpartum support, infant sleep, and lactation support in Dallas-Fort Worth.

  • Mothergood is a newborn and postpartum support service in Dallas–Fort Worth. Founded by Danielle Crissman, BSN, RN, Mothergood bridges the gap from hospital to home by offering newborn foundations sessions, postpartum guidance, sleep consulting, and (coming soon!) lactation support.

  • I support families in the Dallas–Fort Worth area, both first-time parents and those welcoming another child. Services are available in-home or virtually, depending on your needs. If you live outside of the DFW area, but still want to take advantage of my services, we can do everything virtually!

  • A Newborn Foundations Session is a 90-minute one-on-one visit covering the essentials of newborn care: feeding, diapering, soothing, safe sleep, swaddling, and more. It’s perfect for parents who want a confident start.

  • Unlike traditional nannies or doulas, Mothergood offers RN-level expertise. With a NICU nursing background, I provide evidence-based education and support tailored to your family without replacing your role as parent. My goal is to empower you with the tools and knowledge to care for your baby and enter motherhood with confidence.

  • Yes, I offer gentle, evidence-based infant sleep consulting. I do not use “cry-it-out” methods; instead, I tailor strategies to your baby’s age, temperament, and family preferences, in alignment with AAP safe sleep guidelines. My Personalized Sleep Consulting service includes a 90-minute consultation to discuss your sleep challenges. From there, I will deliver a personalized guide of step-by-step strategies to help everyone in your home to get their best sleep. Common issues I can help with are bed sharing, nursing/feeding to sleep, prop dependence (such as a pacifier), and more!

  • Absolutely! Many families book a package before delivery so they have support lined up.

    In fact, I recommend a session at about 30 weeks pregnant so I can help you prepare for you baby’s arrival in your home and go over what to expect in the hospital, what the first few days with your baby will probably look like, and how to set yourself up for success if you choose to breastfeed.

    If you’re not ready to schedule yet, you can purchase a package now and redeem your sessions when you are ready.

  • Mothergood does not bill insurance directly at this time.

  • No problem! I kindly ask that you do so at least 24 hours prior to your session so that another mom can snag your time slot!

  • Virtual sessions are held securely over Zoom. They are great for families outside DFW or for follow-up support between in-home visits.

  • Mothergood serves families throughout Dallas–Fort Worth, including Dallas, Plano, Lewisville, Carrollton, The Colony, Richardson, Frisco, Addison, McKinney, Arlington, Fort Worth, and surrounding areas. I typically travel within 20 miles of 75056 and 75206. If you live slightly further than 20 miles, please reach out and I can explore available options to serve you.

  • That’s what the Newborn Foundations single session is for! It’s a one-time, 90-minute consultation that covers all the basics and gets your questions answered.

  • After booking, you’ll receive an intake form and policies agreement via email. These must be completed before your session so I can best tailor the visit to your family’s needs.
