Postpartum Support
What is a Postpartum Doula?
Designed to nurture and guide the family as a whole, a Postpartum Doula offers parents professional newborn care, a listening ear to birth story processing, non-judgmental support, time to rest and sleep, a moment to “shower in peace”, to have both hands free while eating a meal (that your Doula may have made for you), swaddling and bathing and diapering assistance, and so much more…
A Postpartum Doula is more than an extra set of hands when you need it most. They’re the friend you lean on and confide in during that 2am newborn feeding.
Postpartum Doula Schedules
Commonly, a new family will benefit from the support of a Postpartum Doula for roughly the first three months after birth. Some families don’t need help for that long, while others need Doula care for up to six months. It depends solely on the individual family and their specific situation.
We help create an estimated schedule in advance to ensure that the Postpartum Doula being booked remains available for the family’s specific desired amount of care.
