  • “In the days after my daughter’s birth, when I was feeling especially vulnerable as my initial feeding plans didn’t go to plan, Stephanie listened with compassion and answered all of my questions, helping me to feel empowered in my decisions. One of the things I most appreciate about any advice Stephanie gives is that it's all data-based, but she's also been through it as a mother herself — so she can share both the data and the personal experience. She has done more research than anyone I've ever met, so I know that her advice is solid."

    — KELLY W., BROOKLYN

  • "Stephanie was an inspiring and supportive guide throughout — from answering endless questions around what to expect as I progressed through each trimester to curating a list of incredibly well-researched and safe baby products and more; she saved me an incredible amount of time and mental bandwidth. Stephanie is a subject matter expert who I trust implicitly; she is also passionate about and inspired by helping others navigate the whole pregnancy experience. I felt so confident and supported knowing she was — and still is — just a phone call away."

    — JILLIAN T., CHICAGO

  • "Stephanie has been a godsend to us since the arrival of our little one. We were initially so hesitant to allow someone into our home but after meeting Stephanie and having her with us for a few weeks we couldn't imagine anyone else for our night time doula! She's an amazing support for all things parenthood and we highly highly recommend her."

    — KAYLA A., SALISBURY MILLS

  • "Stephanie was such a valuable resource and support system during my first pregnancy with my son. I was anxious about nearly every aspect of having my first child and she guided me through each question, ultrasound, birth, breastfeeding plan, and beyond with grace and an ease that only comes from her depth of life experience and her time spent in the NICU. I still lean on her knowledge and skill sets throughout the years that follow. If you're looking for someone whose expertise you can rely on, and a sense of calm during a very unpredictable time, I highly recommend her services."

    ALEX R., MANHATTAN

  • "I don't know where I would have been without Stephanie's calming and reassuring presence throughout my pregnancy. As first time parents, we felt overwhelmed at times by the vast amount of information and choice available at our fingertips. Stephanie was able to alleviate our concerns and come up with a succinct game plan that made us feel confident in caring for our newborn. She's also a ton of fun to work with and beyond qualified in every respect. Don't hesitate - you might just make yourself a lifelong friend!"

    — DEVON S., CAMBRIDGE

  • "My husband and I were both sleep deprived and needed support when Stephanie came in to help us with our 3 week old newborn. Honestly, I cannot say enough good things about her. She is just incredible at what she does, not to mention she is a really good person and was a huge mental support for me. She took such good care of our baby boy- we did not have to worry about a thing and were able to just sleep. Not only was she a NICU nurse and brings that integral background, but she is also a lactation consultant. We are so grateful for Stephanie and how she helped our family. If you are looking for someone you can trust with your newborn (or even older), look no further."

    — MEREDITH S., UPPER SADDLE RIVER

Stephanie Pappas-Hudelson, BSN, RN, IBCLC

Stephanie (she/her) has spent her professional life caring for vulnerable and critically-ill infants, children, and their families in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) and children’s hospitals across the US. After welcoming her daughter in 2020, she was surprised to find that her years of professional knowledge had not fully prepared her for the profound changes that characterized her own motherhood journey. Through her struggle to find and accept the care and support she needed, she discovered she was one of many who had unwittingly neglected to prepare for the all-encompassing transformation of parenthood. Her desire to educate and support other families throughout their unique parenthood journeys led to the founding of Partum.

Stephanie is passionate about using data, evidence, and empathy to empower parents to approach the challenges and joys of parenthood with self-compassion, authenticity, and a sense of humor. On her days off, Stephanie can be found drinking [too many] espressos, aggressively weeding her garden beds, and attempting to parent her vibrant and very willful toddler.
