Postpartum Doula Support & Investment
Physical Support
Postpartum is a time for new moms to rest and allow their body to heal from childbirth. By allowing me to take on the daily household chores, you can spend the day resting and bonding with baby.
This support has a heavy focus on caring for Mom, preparing multiple nutritious meals and snacks, and keeping up with household chores.
Support includes:
-Household chores (vacuuming, dishes, decluttering and wiping down counters, light bathroom cleaning, tidying up common areas, etc.)
-Laundry for the family, including washing bedsheets weekly
-Meal and snack preparation
-Pet care
-Local errands
-Baby wearing support and advice
-Basic newborn care and soothing
-Caring for baby, so Mom can shower, sleep, recharge and/or spend quality time with older children
-Caring for older children, providing educational and hands-on childcare, so Mom can rest with baby
-Resources to support you in your postpartum journey (lactation consultants, pelvic floor therapists, chiropractors, etc.)
-Overnight support is available
Emotional Support
Whether you’re a first, second, or third time Mom, childbirth affects emotional health as much as physical health. I want to ensure that you feel heard, supported, and encouraged without judgement. I offer a listening ear and advice when needed, as well as resources to help you navigate life with baby.
Support includes:
-Help processing your birth story
-Emotional and mental health support
-Active and non-judgemental listening, support, and advice
-Empathy, understanding, and companionship - you are not alone in this!
Feeding Support
A fed baby is a happy baby! Whether you choose to breastfeed or bottle feed, I will support and encourage you during those first few weeks with baby. Breastfeeding may be natural, but it can be challenging in the beginning.
Support includes:
-Breastfeeding advice and support with nursing positions, proper latch, tips, and resources throughout your breastfeeding journey
-Bottle-feeding support and advice
-Burping positions and techniques
