Postpartum Care

Postpartum Doula Services
A postpartum doula is a neutral third party, non-judgmental woman caregiver, with a quiet presence in your home. Postpartum doulas understand that parents, whether new or experienced, need time to adjust to their additional responsibilities. After delivery your doula is available to come to your home for breastfeeding and parenting support. She can make sure that everything is taken care of so mom and dad can focus on their new baby.

Amy can "mother the new mother", helping her stay comfortable, hydrated, rested, and available to her new baby.

Amy can prepare light meals or snacks, do dishes, baby’s laundry, help with setting up baby’s room, supplies and equipment, entertain siblings or pets, or run short local errands.

Amy knows tricks and tips to a faster recovery and a more relaxed adjustment to parenting.

Some parents may want their doula to be a supportive shadow while they become more comfortable and confident handling a newborn on their own.

Some new parents may even want their doula to care directly for their newborn to provide them with an opportunity to get some sleep or spend time with older children.

Amy is accomplished and competent in all aspects of newborn care and anxious to share her skills with you.

Parents of multiples often need some extra help for the first few weeks to get a routine established that allows for rest and recuperation.

Amy can help pregnant moms on bed rest with shopping, nursery set-up and companionship.

Amy can help you prepare for your baby; recommend baby equipment and supplies, resources and referrals for pregnancy support, and general baby planning consultation.

Baby here before you are ready? Premature birth is stressful for the whole family. Adopted babies can arrive very suddenly too. While you are busy with a new a baby, Amy can be there to fill in the gaps. Nursery shopping, set up, organization and parenting support are all available. Bring your baby home to a well stocked and prepared nursery. Just ask!
