Postpartum Support

As your doula I will tend to the needs of the whole family so the birthing person can heal and everyone’s needs are met. My support is completely tailored to you. We can work together to come up with the perfect care package.

Postpartum care is considered the 12 weeks after delivery.

Typical visits are between 4-8 hours, 1-5 times a week for the first 0-12 weeks. You need more than newborn care when bringing home your baby. Recovery from birth is important, you’ll need rest, comfort measures, guidance and assurance that you are on the right track… that’s where I come in. You may need help with chest feeding, meals, tidying, laundry. I will build your confidence with feeding, burping, changing, settling and putting baby to sleep. Bathing baby doesn’t have to be stressful.

Minimum 4 hours per visit, $45.00 an hour

Typical visits are between 8-10 hours, 1-5 times a week for the first 0-12 weeks. While you get your much needed sleep I will document the baby’s activity during the night, noting waking and feeding times, the amount consumed, types of dirty diapers, and how well the baby settles. Additionally, I will clean and sanitize bottles and pumping equipment. I enjoy food preparation, baking and light cooking. If the baby is nursing, I provide support with chest feeding as needed. After the parent has finished feeding, I will change, soothe, and put the baby back to sleep.
In the case of bottle feeding, I will attend to the baby throughout the night by feeding, burping, changing, soothing, and settling the baby after each feeding.

Immediate Postpartum care is two hours after birth. I will be by your side to answer questions, lactation education, and helping you feel comfortable. Sometimes your partner won’t be able to stay by your side after delivery, I am happy to assist you. Maybe your support person can’t stay overnight and you don’t want to stay alone… I got you. After a birth you will be sore and may need help lifting baby, getting comfortable and moving about the room. Let me be there for you.
