Postpartum Doula Services
How Can a Postpartum Doula Help?
A postpartum doula provides in-home support to help your family adjust after the birth of your baby. Pregnancy and labor are transformative, and a postpartum doula assists you in navigating this new phase of life. Think of us as your versatile support team: we handle household tasks, play with older siblings, and offer emotional support.
Unlike nannies or babysitters who focus primarily on the baby’s immediate needs, our role as postpartum doulas is to empower parents with the confidence and skills to care for their newborn.
We provide valuable knowledge and practical support, while not offering medical care or advice. For any medical concerns, we’ll refer you to the appropriate provider.
Postpartum Doula Support May Include:
- Physical Recovery Support: Expert care to help you heal from vaginal or cesarean birth, easing discomfort and promoting recovery.
- Postpartum Depression/Anxiety Support: Compassionate assistance to identify and manage postpartum mental health challenges.
- Infant Feeding Guidance: Support for breastfeeding, bottle feeding, or formula feeding to ensure a smooth feeding experience.
- Routine Infant, Sibling, or Pet Care: Help with newborn care, older children, or pets to keep your household balanced.
- Overnight Newborn Care: Nighttime support for baby care and feeding, allowing you to get much-needed rest.
- Light Meal Preparation: Preparation of nutritious meals to support your recovery and simplify mealtime.
- Light Housekeeping and Laundry: Assistance with keeping your home tidy and managing laundry, so you can focus on your baby.
- Errand Running or Grocery Shopping: Handling errands and grocery shopping to save you time and effort.
- Accompaniment to Appointments: Support during physician or midwife visits, helping you navigate appointments with ease.
- Customized Support: Tailored assistance for any additional needs identified by your doula.
