Postpartum Doula Support & Care

While newborns surely bring joy and wonder, they also bring sleepless nights and a period of adjustment where all parties are learning their new roles within the family. A postpartum doula’s focus lies on nurturing the new mother while fostering a healthy adjustment and transition for the newborn. She understands what is normal and what is not for both mothers and infants during the weeks after delivery and can help ease the transition for everyone involved. Her mission is to help make the postpartum experience a joyful and positive season for all members of the family; and to equip families with the tools they need to establish healthy routines and practices that work for them. She brings judgment-free support and helps families with:

• Breastfeeding or bottle feeding assistance and basic troubleshooting
• Understanding and responding to newborn cues
• Infant care and soothing while mom physically rests and recovers
• Light housekeeping and errands
• Nutritious meal preparation and assistance with meal planning, if requested
• Sibling care and tips on adjustment
• Appropriate resources and referrals
• Emotional support to mothers as they process their birth experience
• Caring for the family while mothers and fathers enjoy one-on-one time together

Investment: $30/hr with a minimum 3 hour shift. 

*Postpartum support availability is currently very limited.
