Postpartum doulas give in-home support to new families. Many women feel that they are invaluable for getting through some of the hard times. A postpartum doula acts much like a trusted friend or family member, offering nurturing care to the new family and providing nonmedical advice.
My postpartum doula rate is $20/hr.
As a postpartum doula, I come to your home to support you and your new baby. I can offer support with breastfeeding, answer questions regarding parenting and child development, and demonstrate babywearing techniques.
Other support available:
-
Light housekeeping chores, such as dishes and laundry
-
Cooking nutritious meals for the mother and baby
-
Assist with breastfeeding
-
Care for the newborn while you nap or shower
I will never provide medical advice or make medical decisions for you or your family. When there is a health-related question I will always encourage you to call your healthcare provider.
