Postpartum is a tough time, doulas allow you to take much needed breaks. This allows you to get rest, feeding help, emotional processing, and not have to carry it all on your shoulders.
My postpartum support includes but not limited to:
-
- Emotional support and guidance
- Feeding/Breastfeeding support
- Newborn care suggestions and guidance
- Care for baby to allow rest, shower, spend time with other children, time for yourself, etc.
- Keep the house calm to allow rest and bonding
- Help support sibling relationship with new baby
- Transition for partner going back to work
- Running errands and/or grocery shopping
- Light housekeeping - dishes, laundry, sweep, vacuum, bathrooms
- Help preparing light meals/snacks
- Resourses
Disclaimer - If you feel like you are unable to afford my doula fees, please contact me. I am willing to work with you or offer other options to help facilitate you getting the support you need and deserve. No one should have a baby without a doula!
I would be happy to set up a Venmo fund for your family to pay into to help cover the cost of services. Please let me know if this is an option you are interested in. I would keep you posted on deposits and subtract it from the total owed.
