POSTPARTUM DOULA
WHAT IS A POSTPARUM DOULA?
The arrival of a new baby is an exciting time for families filled with love and delight. Yet, adding new member to the family comes with many changes. Sleep hours are disrupted, feeding the family and housework can become challenging. Family dynamics shift and the hormones of the birther are often rebalancing from pregnancy. First time parents are often surprised by some of the difficulties which arise from 24/7 care of a newborn.
Postpartum doulas provide guidance and support to navigate the weeks and months after baby is born with ease. Imagine a clean house with someone you trust to process emotional swings and answer the daily questions about newborn care and feeding. Postpartum doulas are particularly beneficial if your extended family is off island and you need the extra set of hands in those early months of baby's life.
