How a Postpartum Doula Can Help You

If you’ve taken the Pregnancy or Early Motherhood programs, you have clarity around self-care for you and baby because this can be a tough concept. Pregnancy and the transition to motherhood can look and feel drastically different from one woman to the next and that’s okay.

Becoming a parent can seem overwhelming and having access to a postpartum nurse or doula can help provide you, your souse and your baby and sibling support.  They’re especially helpful if your husband needs to return to work or if you don’t have family members to help you through the transition. Below is a list of top areas a postpartum nurse or doula can offer after your birth.

  • Emotional support

  • Breastfeeding support

  • Baby care

  • Cooks and cleans

  • Helps your family adjust to their new roles
