Postpartum Doula Care
As I study to
become fully certified as a postpartum doula, I'm offering discounted
postpartum doula services for $18 per hour. (service from
9pm-9am $21 per hour-this service is temporarily unavailable). No charge for the initial interview for which there is no obligation, or for the planning appointment if one is desired.
A postpartum doula can do anything the
mother or family need her to. It could mean breastfeeding
support, running errands, caring for other family members, house work/cooking, or maybe the new mom would
just like somebody to help with the baby while she showers or
eats and takes care of herself.
The list of things a postpartum doula
can do is really endless and so are the benefits of having one. A
mother doesn't have to be overwhelmed or having challenges to need a
postpartum doula, the idea is to prevent those things from happening.
In fact research has proven that doulas reduce the risk of postpartum mood disorders like
postpartum depression and baby blues significantly, and allow for increased breastfeeding
success rates.
A newborn baby really does need constant
care and they grow and change so quickly, wouldn't it be nice for the
mother to put all her focus on the baby and leave the dishes and the
laundry to the doula?
Ask for the gift of a doula. Gift certificates
available in any amount on the shopping
page. Who better than a children loving birth professional to come and
mother the new mother?
By becoming a postpartum client you are also given the benefits of:
- Access to my carefully selected lending library of books, magazines, CD`s, DVD`s and equipment.
- Until my work for you is finished
you are welcome to phone and email support free of charge.
- An invite to
the First Breath Families Yahoo Group where you will find a ton of
information, local resources, and if you want, other families to connect
with.
- Invites to
special events put on by First Breath such as movie and information
nights.
I birthed baby number 3 in January 2011. I am currently available for postpartum care from 9:30 AM - 9:30 PM and will return to my overnight work as soon as possible. I am happy to make referrals for the overnight care for you.
