Postpartum Support

Why should you hire a postpartum doula? Postpartum doulas offer emotional support, share evidence-based information, provide practical assistance, and support partners and siblings. They nurture, educate, advocate, and provide referrals.

As a Postpartum Doula, I provide comprehensive support to new parents during the critical postpartum period. My services encompass a wide range of essential tasks and emotional care, ensuring a smoother transition into parenthood. Here’s what I offer:

  1. Breastfeeding Support: I guide and empower parents in establishing successful breastfeeding routines. From latch techniques to addressing common challenges, I’m here to assist.

  2. Emotional and Physical Recovery: I recognize the emotional and physical demands of postpartum recovery. I provide a compassionate presence, offering encouragement, active listening, and practical coping strategies.

  3. Light Housekeeping: Keeping the home environment tidy and organized is crucial during this time. I handle light housekeeping tasks, allowing parents to focus on bonding with their newborn.

  4. Errands and Logistics: Whether it’s picking up groceries, collecting prescriptions, or running essential errands, I’m there to lighten the load.

  5. Newborn Care Assistance: I offer guidance on diapering, bathing, soothing techniques, and safe sleep practices. My goal is to empower parents with confidence in caring for their little one.

  6. Meal Preparation: Nutritious meals are vital for postpartum recovery. I prepare light, nourishing meals that align with dietary preferences and restrictions.

  7. Baby Soothing Techniques: From swaddling to calming techniques, I share effective strategies to soothe fussy babies and promote restful sleep.

  8. Baby Wearing Support: I demonstrate safe and comfortable baby-wearing methods, allowing parents to keep their hands free while bonding with their child.

  9. Sibling Integration: Transitioning to a new family dynamic can be challenging for older siblings. I provide guidance on fostering positive sibling relationships.

  10. Referrals and Resources: If additional support is needed, I connect families with relevant resources, such as lactation consultants, therapists, or parenting classes.
