About Jessica
“Hi I’m Jessica! On social media you may know me as Mother baby nurse Jessica. I’m a traveling mother-baby and NICU nurse. I see how hospitals around the United States does things and share this education on social media for parents who want to know more. I empower parents to advocate for themselves postpartum and their newborn baby. Heck I even wrote a book about it. I want every parent to know they have choices and a say in the plan of care for themselves postpartum and newborn baby inside the hospital, even if no one tells you.”
