What is a postpartum doula?


A postpartum doula provides families with information and unbiased support relating to infant feeding, family integration, emotional and physical recovery from childbirth, infant soothing, coping skills for new parents, and so much more. A postpartum doula tends to the newborn so parents can shower, eat, sleep, and spend time with the older sibling. The postpartum period is identified in 3 stages lasting at least until 6 months after childbirth and even longer!

Postpartum Doula Support Consist of:

  • Feeding support, both breast and bottle

  • Meal and food prep for the day/week

  • Grocery shopping if desired

  • Help with organization of baby nursery

  • Tending to household duties and baby so you can get the sleep or me time you need

  • Light household work (dishes, vacuum, laundry, etc.)

  • Tending to any pets- feeding, walking and playing

  • Talking with and supporting you in your present experience

  • Nearly anything you will need to help assist in the healing and recovery during your postpartum period

  • Referring out to other professionals when what you need is out of my scope.
