A Postpartum Doula Can Help You Reach Your Daily & Long-Term Goals

2/1/2023

0 Comments

 
The aim of a postpartum doula is to be a positive and comfortable addition to your home after the arrival of your baby; offering support, care, and assistance where it is needed and appropriate. You are the expert when it comes to knowing what is best for you and your family, and your doula will be on the lookout for ways to bolster your efforts and ease your transition & recovery. Maybe it's running a bath for you and emptying the dishwasher; maybe reviewing how to swaddle, setting up a diaper changing station, sharing some baby soothing techniques; or acting as your sous chef and getting that night’s dinner set up. And nighttime care? That means you can pare down your involvement to just the time it takes to nurse or pump (if applicable) while your doula takes care of your baby & some quiet nighttime tasks. All while you’re maximizing your sleep.
 
A doula’s personal care and attention, day or night, can help tip the balance from tired and overwhelmed to refreshed and confident. You’ll be looking forward to the next postpartum visit with your doula, no doubt!
