Your Postpartum Care

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

 

This is merely the start of your journey! This period is simultaneously joyful, tiring, and overwhelming, and you merit the finest care throughout. You might have been advised to visit your care provider six weeks postpartum, but where can you find support in the meantime? And the questions abound: Is the baby receiving sufficient milk? Does the baby’s stool appear normal? What is the proper way to clean bottles? When will the umbilical cord detach? Why do I find myself crying without cause? Among many other concerns.

Envision an experienced, compassionate, and professional expert at your side; ready to serve you a cup of tea, address all your inquiries, and assist with the minor tasks that hinder your rest and relaxation. Someone who offers guidance on infant care, breastfeeding, and your recovery, a dependable companion who enables you to take a nap, enjoy a soak in the tub, or savor a delicious lunch she has prepared. A non-judgmental ally who can clean bottles, run errands, initiate laundry, educate you on safe sleep practices, and respond to all your “Is this normal?”  Imagine the tranquility you’ll experience as you adjust to life with your new baby, with one of our knowledgeable postpartum doulas by your side.
