The transitional time that follows the birth of a baby can be the most important time to rely on extra support. Resting after the birth of a baby is the fastest way to recover. Most people today do not have the support system we use to have when families lived close to each other. A postpartum doula comes to your home and cares for you and your family, while you recover from the birth. My quiet presence nurtures the entire family to optimize your special time as a new family.
Some of the services provided by a postpartum doula are as follows: nonmedical mommy and baby care, breastfeeding support, sibling care, meal preparation, errands, and household tasks.
Postpartum doula care is especially helpful when faced with an unplanned surgical birth.
