Postpartum Doula Services
What is a postpartum doula?
The short answer? A postpartum doula comes to your home in the weeks after a baby is born to help parents rest, relax, and recover.
The long answer? A postpartum doula comes to your home, checks in with you about how you and your baby are doing, and looks for ways to help. Your doula may do your dishes, sweep your kitchen floor, do the baby's laundry, vacuum the floors, make your bed, cook a healthy meal for you, hold the baby while you get a shower or a nap, or take care of baby overnight while you sleep, bringing baby to you to breastfeed, or giving baby a bottle.
In many cultures, this kind of service is (or was) automatically provided to new moms by their own mothers, aunts, sisters, and friends. But sometimes today, new parents find themselves many miles away from their own family, and local friends and family may have their own agendas that need to be attended to, limiting the time that they are available to help. This sometimes leaves new parents alone in the weeks after baby is born at a time when they most need the proverbial village to surround them. A postpartum doula can help stand in that gap.
Postpartum doulas can also help when friends or family members are able to be around, by helping all to get a good nights rest so that friends and family members are refreshed and better able to help out during the day.
