Postpartum Doula
Package includes
As a postpartum doula, I provide help with things such as infant feeding, emotional and physical recovery from birth, mother-baby bonding, infant soothing, and basic newborn care.
This definition covers the broad concepts that postpartum doulas offer. Yet, there are so many more detailed ways we support families with newborns.
- Feeding support (breastfeeding help, expressed milk feedings/pumping support, bottle)
- Newborn care (diapering, bathing, umbilical cord, circumcision, special needs)
- Maternal support (physical assistance, emotional support, incision/tear care, companionship)
- Paternal support (ways to help, emotional support)
- Newborn calming/soothing techniques, help with baby’s sleep, bonding/attachment tips
- Sibling support and integration
- Meal preparation, household organization
- No obligation phone interview
- After determining your needs future meetings will be scheduled
- If hired, minimum 20 hours a week/can be used in 4hr, 5hr, or 8hr increments
Overnight Postpartum Doula Support
Overnight support differs slightly from day support by allowing the parents to sleep uninterrupted for longer stretches throughout the night.
Postpartum meal prep packages
Package includes
During this transition, meal preparation is often an afterthought. Having someone prep your meals for the week will not only give you peace of mind but will also ensure you and your baby are getting the proper nutrition. You will be healthier and feel better if you eat well. Meals will be customized to individual dietary restrictions. Often families request that I prep and freeze items for the week.
