Postpartum Doula Package:
Parents are often overwhelmed with the challenges of postpartum adjustment and can significantly benefit from the support of a postpartum doula in the first few weeks after their baby is born. When you invite a postpartum doula into your home, you'll have an easier time finding balance within your new family, feel more connected to each other and your baby, feel more rested, better fed, will be less likely to experience postpartum depression and have more breastfeeding success.
Your postpartum doula will visit you 2-3 times per week and offer services that may include but are not limited to:
- Hands-on education on infant and mother care (breastfeeding, bathing, diapering, calming techniques, preparation of formula ifbottle feeding)
- Create a nurturing, restful atmosphere in which parents may eat, shower and nap
- Introduce parenting tips, helping parents to learn skills that will enable them to cope with their new responsibilities
- Screen for hurdles such as breastfeeding challenges or postpartum mood disorders
- Shop for groceries and prepare meals
- Help with housework such as light laundry, washing dishes, sweeping floor, etc
- Help initialize a routine for your baby and your family

It may be difficult to knowin advance how often and for how long you'll need a postpartum doula - so to start, we reserve two 4 hour visits for you and ask for a tentative schedule from to you work with. We can adjust our time together as needed once you get to know what challenges your unique postpartum situation presents for you.
