How Can a Postpartum Doula Assist your New Family?

(I am currently only offering Postpartum Doula services to Birth Doula clients)
get postpartum support
Traditionally, new parents had the help of a village of people. Experienced mothers, aunts, and sisters helped the mother to prepare for labor, give birth safely and confidently, and then encouraged her as she cared for her newborn. They also supported the new family by providing practical assistance. Making meals, washing clothes, and breastfeeding support was never more than a call away.


Unfortunately, our in our modern lives this sort of support for the new parents and baby has been too long forgotten. Often couples live far away from family or even life-long friends, and the knowledge of how to promote healthy bonding and feeding of babies has been relegated to Google searches. Mothers in Charlottesville now have the option of a doula who offers continuous care throughout the pregnancy, birth, and postpartum periods.


                                                       
Postpartum Doula to the Rescue!


A postpartum doula knows how best to help new parents have a confident beginning to their new family. Although listening to what the family needs is one of the most important qualities in a postpartum doula, some services that are often appreciated include:

  • Assisting with breastfeeding and referring to a professional if necessary

  • Suggesting different techniques for calming a discontented newborn

  • Demonstrating swaddling or babywearing to reduce infant crying

  • Preparing nutrient-dense meals for a nourished family

  • Holding the baby so that Mom or Dad can shower or take a nap

  • Provide evidence-based information on safe infant sleep

  • Tidying up

  • Provides encouragement and emotional support during a hormonally unstable time


Doesn’t that sound amazing?! Many families have enjoyed the support of a postpartum doula, and so can you. The hours can be scheduled at the most convenient time for you; some doulas even work during the night so that you can get as much sleep as possible to prepare you for your next exciting day with your new baby.
