Postpartum Doula Support Add-On

A postpartum doula works with families in the postpartum period; offering support, information, instruction, comfort, and referrals. I specialize in caesarean recovery and in lactation support. I am available to meet with your family prenatally to discuss anticipated needs or postnatally as needs arise.

Duties May Include:

  • Maternal care (emotional support, allowing the mother a self-care break, screening for postpartum mood disorders, suggestions for cesarean recovery, etc.)

  • Newborn care (bathing, feeding, swaddling, soothing, diapering, etc.)

  • Breastfeeding & chestfeeding support

  • Bottle feeding assistance and education

  • Infant sleep support

  • Babywearing tutorials and hands-on assistance

  • Light housework (dishes, laundry, etc.)

  • Household organization

  • In-home assistance with older children

  • Helping older children adjust to the newborn

  • Local area resources and referrals (support groups, mom/baby exercise classes, pediatric chiropractors, massage, acupuncture, etc.)

  • Education on postpartum birth control

Details

  • Postpartum doula support currently only available as an add-on to a lactation consultation.

  • Add-on includes 3 hours of doula support immediately following the in-home lactation consultation (either initial or follow-up).

  • Doula hours are not eligible for insurance reimbursement.
