Built on passion for maternal care
BabyD Career Academy prepares professionals to support families during life's most important season.
Built on a passion for postpartum support and education
BabyD Career Academy was founded to bridge a critical gap in maternal and infant care training. We recognized that families needed skilled, compassionate professionals during their most vulnerable months, and those professionals needed rigorous, accessible education. Today, we've trained hundreds of doulas, Newborn Care Specialists, and sleep trainers across Westport and beyond, each equipped to make a real difference in the lives of new families.
