Imagine this:
A new family brings home their newborn baby, feeling exhausted and overwhelmed with a million questions about their infant and what is happening within their own body. They miss the call button they had access to in the hospital for support and questions. They think about calling their parents for help but are concerned about increasing their anxiety and stress by involving family. And they want to do this on their own—and do it just right. Enter the professional postpartum doula.
The professional postpartum doula nurtures the new mom to support recovery and healing, encourages the other parent into their new role, and sets the stage for the parents to get to know their new little family member as they begin this new relationship, creating a bond that will last forever.
The Postpartum Doula fills an important role in today's family culture. The Postpartum Doula’s job is to make the transition to parenthood easier for new parents, to help the birth parent during their recovery period, to ascertain what the family needs help with and provide the instruction and support in order that the family has the skills to care for themselves and the newborn even when the doula is not there.
Statistics show that families who have support during the postpartum period tend to have lower rates of postpartum mood disorders, breastfeed for a longer duration, have deeper bonds with the baby and their partner, and make a better adjustment to parenthood. This unique opportunity will give you the education and skills necessary to support families through their transition.
If the postpartum doula's first name is "Nurture", their middle name is "Empowerment". As the doula
cares for the family so they can rest, she also builds their confidence in caring for their baby.
