Postnatal Doula Support
Whether you’re a first-time parent or adding to your growing family, my role as your Doula is to “mother the mother” and provide nurturing emotional, practical and informational support and reassurance in the early days and weeks after your baby is born, helping you transition to life with a newborn and thrive both physically and mentally.
My aim is to make your transitions into parenthood easier and leave you feeling like the wonderful goddess you are, so you can focus on what's most important to you, helping you heal, bond with your baby and thrive in those precious early days, weeks and months, making them just a little bit easier.
What Postnatal Doula Support Can Look Like:
This list isn't exhaustive, we can talk about what is important to you and you can decide what you’d like me to focus on at each session.
-
Debriefing your birth experience - listening, exploring and unpacking your birth story.
-
Emotional Support for you (and your partner) during the delicate and vulnerable first weeks with a newborn baby.
-
Newborn Care Support, encouragement and reassurance around newborn care, understanding newborn behaviour and establishing breastfeeding or bottle feeding.
-
Practical help with preparing light meals e.g. breakfast, lunch, snacks and drinks and light household tasks such as tidying, laundry, ironing.
-
Watching baby while you get some well deserved rest, have a bath or need some alone time.
-
Support with any older siblings while you have one-on-one time with your baby.
-
Signposting to evidence-based information and resources for subjects such as feeding or sleeping.
