Postpartum Doula Support
The transition of bringing home a baby is not to be underestimated. Helping hands, practical information for all the shifts (and gear) that come with a tiny kiddo, and a nurturing presence make all the difference in your postpartum time.
$40-$50/hour
A Postpartum Doula works with each family individually to find out their particular needs. My goal is to bolster you in your parenting of your child, help you lean into your instincts, and ease the transition that occurs when welcoming a new baby.
Some of the postpartum services that a doula can perform include (but are not limited to):
Guidance with newborn feeding and lactation, if chosen
Emotional support and birth processing
Physical recovery help and information
Assistance with newborn care such as diapering, bathing, feeding and comforting
Nutritious meal prep and/or meal planning
Light housekeeping as relates to the baby (newborn laundry, kitchen tidying, bottle washing)
Baby soothing techniques
Baby wearing information and support
Overnight newborn care
Sibling care
Education on postpartum complications
