WHAT IS A POSTPARTUM DOULA?

Postpartum doulas assist families in the first few weeks to months following birth by providing relief and encouragement in addition to baby care and household management. 

Working With Your nYn Postpartum Doula

The postpartum period should be magical but it can often feel overwhelming. Your doula will work with you to promote healing and bonding for yourself and your baby. Postpartum care can look different for each family depending on your individual goals or needs.

Your doula will chat with you in advance to determine a plan of care for each shift. You may need someone to assist your older children and take care of the laundry while you nap.  You may need someone to take care of you and the baby once your partner returns to work.

A doula can prepare a healthy meal, pick up around the house, and make sure that the baby is latching well. She may also take out the trash or run pick up household items that are needed.  

She is not only an extra pair of hands but a wealth of knowledge to discuss your concerns about baby's eating and sleeping habits, your recovery,  pet adjustment, diaper changes, bathing, baby wearing, and much more!
