Postpartum Doula Support

Once you arrive home with your precious new bundle of joy, there will be many questions about how to care for baby and yourself. If breastfeeding is in your plan I can offer support in helping a new mother and baby learn about each other at the breast. Or, if you have chosen to bottle-feed, I can offer support in that area as well. I also can provide information and assistance with milk production, lactation recipes, pumping and milk storage. It is a joy of me to be able to support a mother’s physical recovery after childbirth and emotional adjustment to parenthood. I can assist with small meal preparation for the mother and family members, help organize the nursery, run errands, and do light housekeeping chores such as dishes and baby cloth laundry. I will support your entire household, help you understand your new child, and facilitate a restful, peaceful environment.
