Postpartum doulas provide families information and in-home support on infant feeding, emotional and physical recovery from childbirth, infant soothing, and general coping skills while learning all about their new little person. Some families will even have their postpartum doula come to the house before the baby is born to help make meals to freeze and generally get everything ready at home for baby’s arrival.
We want to make the transition with your baby as magical as possible. You know (or will figure out) how to parent your baby so you don’t have to worry about us pushing any particular agenda or philosophy. We will offer suggestions based on our experience but always while supporting your choices without judgement.
Once baby is born, whether you need help during the day or overnight our postpartum doulas will be there for you. People often find that hiring a doula to come overnight is a smart investment in their sanity and health. We all know that life is just better all around when we’ve had a good sleep!
FAQ
Postpartum Doula
First-time parents, parents of multiples, families with little/no local support, people at risk for experiencing postpartum depression & anxiety, new parents with limited experience with newborns and a multitude of other situations where having a postpartum professional would benefit the entire family.
Absolutely! We will make meals and generally take care of the family while you rest and recover from surgery and adjust to newborn life.
It can typically look like:
- Having a little chat with you upon arrival and answer any questions you might have
- Sending you off to bed zzzzz
- Keep a watchful eye on your little human
- Bring the baby to you for nursing when it’s time, or bottle feed baby if that’s the plan
- Let you fall back to sleep zzzz
- Post feeding handling any burping, diaper changing, re-swaddling, or settling back to sleep
- Working towards creating good sleep patterns and habits
- Doing this all while you continue sleeping with the confidence that your baby is in capable, loving hands
- Having a little chat and maybe you even getting a luxurious shower (not kidding!) before leaving baby in your well-rested hands!
