This is a new phase in your life, physical and emotional support is essential.
It’s not just the baby that will need help at the beginning. I will help make sure you, the mother, will get enough rest, eat well, or simply bring you a much needed cup of tea.
I know what your baby wants and needs and I will work with you to help you understand these wants and needs
I will guide you on how to simplify things that will no doubt seem daunting at the beginning. I will help develop a schedule for your baby, help you navigate through the maze of gadgets available to purchase, or simply help you pack for a trip
When someone thinks about postpartum care, people usually only consider the mother who receives it. However, fathers also benefit from this service.
Whether he is a single father or have a partner; a postpartum doula can be an incredible support to guide and educate fathers on this new journey, helping them to navigate through the first phases of parenthood.
I begin my work on the first day your baby arrives home. I will work for you for a period of 6 to 12 weeks. However, some clients do request this type of service to be extended for up to 12 months. It all depends on how much support is needed after birth or adoption. My priority is to take care of the Newborn Baby and the mother, however, I give support to the whole family as well.
My style of sleep training is simple, yet effective. I don’t make babies go to sleep, instead I teach them to sleep independently using a gentle, non-invasive approach. From the beginning, I make sure to give my clients all the “secrets” of sleep training and ensure that I set the family up for success after my job is done. I understand your baby’s body language, I am familiar with common health issues and have a preventative approach when addressing them. If needed, I may travel domestically and internationally (rates apply) and provide professional, non-medical assistance for you and your baby.
It’s better to choose your Doula months before your baby’s arrival. A Doula can help you set up the nursery and shop for all the important items you will need in the first few weeks of the baby’s arrival.
Make sure the Doula is well trained, has lots of experience, local, solid and stellar references. Also check for criminal background, updated vaccinations and CPR training. After birth, if your Baby needs any special care, your Doula should be aware of it and know how to address this special need with their doctor’s instructions.
