Wouldn’t it be great to have an extra set of hands to help you with newborn care and little tasks around the house while you focus on your postpartum recovery?
You can!
A postpartum doula gives new parents the opportunity to settle into their home with their new baby feeling stress free and confident. This trained baby professional helps parents with every element of baby care with the family’s parenting style of choice as a framework for newborn care practices.
Postpartum Recovery
Newly postpartum moms are cared for and comforted as they relax and recover in the difficult days ahead. Self care is an important element of the postpartum recovery process. Having a doula at home encourages mothers to devote time each day to self care, making their transition home stress free. Parents have an amazing newborn care resource available to answer questions they have or give them some extra confidence as they get the hang of baby care and their new routines.
A doula is there to help you develop a feeding and sleeping schedule, bias free and encouraging the parenting style of your choice. If you are breastfeeding, your postpartum doula can help you learn all the breastfeeding basics and how to make your breastfeeding journey a positive experience. Access to a doula means a variety of modern parenting resources at your fingertips and you can be confident that your family is fully prepared to bring home baby.
Sibling Care
If you have older children it can be intimidating to bring home a new baby. Your doula can help care for your older kids or take over baby care so parents can spend some quality time with their other babies. Especially during breaks from school, a postpartum doula can be the extra set of hands to keep a new mom calm and collected. When you are able to divide your time, there is typically less sibling jealousy and negative behavioral responses to the introduction of a new baby. A doula encourages bonding between parents and baby and their big brothers and sisters.
Meal Prep
Your doula is there to help nurture your entire family and facilitate the transition home with a new baby. While balancing a newborn care routine and household tasks, making dinner plans can be the furthest from your mind. Your doula can help you plan and prepare meals that will boost your energy during the postpartum period and help your body recover. Some extra help in the kitchen will keep your family’s meal routines on track and settling down to new baby life seamlessly.
