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 mother's need for rest, nourishment and recovery
  
• Newborn care while the parent sleeps.
• Emotional support.
• Knowledge of normal postpartum recovery (from vaginal or cesarean birth) and signs of postpartum depression.
• 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
