Doctors in Kansas City are working to improve outcomes for Pregnancy and postpartum with a new doula program

Led by trained peer facilitators, this group is for parents of “high need” newborns to 12-month-old babies. All babies have needs and depend on their caregivers, yet some babies have more needs than others. “High needs baby” is not a medical term or diagnosis, but it is a term used to describe babies with some of these characteristics: constant crying (for several hours in a row), difficult to soothe, and easily overstimulated. A highly sensitive or high-needs baby might not sleep without being held, might cry for three hours every evening, or might get restless and frustrated when transitioning from one environment to another. We know that parents of “colicky” or high-needs babies can feel isolated, exhausted, and overwhelmed. You are not alone, and we are here to help. Crying babies are welcome too!

If you are looking for a group for parenting a medically fragile baby or child, please check out our group specifically for those parents.

Heyyyyy everyone!

As y’all know the Ida Mae Center at Uzazi Village has been open for almost 2 years already 🤯 it’s crazy to see how time flies! Given how long we have been open, we would LOVEEEE for all our past and current families to show us some love via a quick review on the Uzazi Village google page! We always love and cherish your stories in person from receiving your care with us and would love to have them shared where the community at large can see! 🌞🫶🏾
