Postpartum Doula

 

 

Many moms with a newborn feel overwhelmed due to the change of lifestyle and routine she/he requires. Most moms will talk about how exhausted they where after the birth and longed for sleep. Many moms may also have procedures done during the birth that do not allow them to get out of bed for some time. Other family members can feel unsure as well. Sibilings may not understand and Dad may need some sleep as well.

 

Your postpartum doula can help your family ease into the transition of having a new family member. Some services may include taking care of the newborn, helping older sibilings transition to having a new baby, cooking, light cleaning and more

 

You may consider having a postpartum doula if you:

• Have had a cesarean or epistomy

• Have limited at home support

• Have other children

• Are a first time mom

• Feel the need for well deserved rest
