First off, What is a Postpartum Doula and what do we do? A postpartum doula is a trained professional who assists families in their postpartum transition period.
I respect that my role as a postpartum doula is influential can influence a families beginnings. My goal is to leave families feeling confident in their abilities to be capable and confident parents to their newborn. Nothing is more important to me as a postpartum doula than empowering my postpartum families and setting them up for success.
As a postpartum doula, the amount of times I visit a family can vary. Some families only need a few days of support their first month with baby. Others find 2-3 visits a week work best for their needs. How often I visit depends on what a family is currently needing and their price range for care.
Additionally, Postpartum doulas can provide daytime or overnight care.
"Postpartum doulas provide families information and support on infant feeding, emotional and physical recovery from childbirth, infant soothing, and coping skills for new parents. They might also help with light housework, fix a meal and help incorporate an older child into this new experience."
