Postpartum Doula
The first few weeks and months after a child arrives in a family is a wonderful and challenging time. Having the support of a doula can help ease the transition for the whole family. Postpartum Doulas specialize in the first few months after the baby is born or adopted.
Some areas that I can help with include:
• Newborn care, soothing, burping, diapering, etc.
• Breastfeeding
• Mother’s physical adjustment after the birth process
• Nutritional and emotional support
• Learning how to use baby carriers and slings
• Household chores, laundry, cooking, dishes, etc.
• Hanging out with your baby while you rest
• Parent-baby bonding
• Errands and doctor appointments
• Sibling adjustment
• Use of my lending library
• Instruction in infant massage
My charge for Postpartum Doula Support is $25/hour. I am generally available for up to 4 hours per day.
