Postpartum Doula Services

 
 As a postpartum doula, my role is to ease the transition to life with a new baby.   I help my clients gain confidence in their parenting skills and care for them so that they are best able to care for their baby.  Families benefit from the compassionate, non-judgmental support and evidence based information they receive.

How I can help:

  • Normalizing of newborn behavior.
  • Diapering, soothing and bathing techniques.
  • Breast, bottle or combination feeding support.
  • Supporting birthing person's need for rest, nourishment and recovery
  • Newborn care while the parent(s) sleep.
  • Emotional support.
  • Knowledge of normal postpartum recovery (from vaginal or cesarean birth).
  • Light housekeeping
  • Meal preparation.
  • Supporting the sibling(s) while they adjust to the change.
  • Referrals to community resources.
  • Attending appointments / running errands with parents as a helper
