Postpartum Doula Support

This support can be beneficial for that first week home or if you need support a few weeks or months after baby is born because the sleep deprivation has kicked in. Your postpartum doula can help ease the transition while you are healing, help with sleep support, and be an extra set of hands to ensure you are bonding, healing and resting. This is also a beneficial time for her to show you things like swaddling, diapering, bathing, and other newborn care support. She will also commonly be able to help you navigate your milk production and breastfeeding concerns, if any.
