Creating Healthy Beginnings

A postpartum doula provides evidenced-based information on things such as infant feeding, emotional and physical recovery from birth, mother-baby bonding, infant soothing, and basic newborn care. Research shows that moms, dads, and babies have an easier time with this transition if a good support team is in place.

Breastfeeding support

Help with the emotional and physical recovery after birth

Light housekeeping so that mom does not feel so overwhelmed

Running errands

Assistance with newborn care such as diapering, bathing, feeding and comforting

Light meal preparation

Baby soothing techniques

Sibling care

Referrals to local resources such as parenting classes, pediatricians, lactation support and support groups

I absolutely love providing overnight support to new families because they get to wake up rested, refreshed and happy to enjoy their new baby and family the next day.
