As a Postpartum Doula, I am a knowledgeable professional  who will assist your  family during the critical period immediately after the birth of your  baby(s). I “mother the mother” and offer physical, emotional, informational support, as well as practical help to your family. As a postpartum doula I can support your family during the day or evening. I am there to nurture your family, and provide comfort and much needed rest.

The transition of welcoming a new baby(s) into your family can be both physically and mentally draining, especially due to sleep deprivation and uncertainty about the care of your newborn. Therefore, there are many advantages to hiring a postpartum doula including:

• Increased breastfeeding success
• Decreased chance of postpartum depression
• Decreased infant and maternal health complications due to informed care
• Decreased maternal exhaustion, frustration, and apprehension
• Increased and earlier bonding with newborn
• Happier baby due to a greater

understanding of your infant’s emotional and physical needs and behavior.

The scope and practice of a postpartum doula changes from doula to doula. When choosing a doula you should make sure they will meet your needs and expectations. I can offer the following:

• Lactation support
• Infant feeding
• Help you initiate a routine with your baby(s)
• Emotional support
• Newborn care instruction
• Meal preparation
• Formula preparation
• Cord & circumcision Care
• Shopping & errand running
• Laundry ( baby & family )
