Your Postpartum Care

     Your baby is in your arms, and you have just traveled through an amazing, challenging and transforming experience!

 

But this is just the beginning of your adventure! This exciting and rewarding time is joyful, exhausting and overwhelming all at once and you deserve the best care through it. You were probably told, “See your care provider six weeks after the birth” but where do you get support now? What about all those questions? Is baby getting enough milk? Is this baby poo normal looking? How do I wash bottles?  When will the cord fall off?  Why do I cry for no reason? And so many more!

Imagine having an experienced, compassionate and professional expert by your side; to bring you a cup of tea, answer all your questions and give you a hand with those small tasks that keep you from resting and relaxing. Someone who can give you guidance regarding infant care, breastfeeding, and your recovery,  a trusted companion who allows you to take a nap, soak in the tub or enjoy a tasty lunch prepared by her.  A non-judgmental friend who can wash bottles, run an errand, start the laundry, teach you about safe sleep and answer all your “Is this normal” questions. Just picture the peace you will feel adapting to life with with your new baby with one of our knowledgeable postpartum doulas by your side!
