First baby? Second? Third? More?
All new moms deserve a caring, supportive person to talk to and a little pampering as well.

Just a few of the benefits of a postpartum doula:
Mom has regular, healthy meals, snacks and fluids essential to successful breastfeeding.
Baby is lovingly cared for while mom naps, showers, and has personal moments with dad or siblings.
A knowledgeable professional to chat with about anything and everything postpartum.
Dad is confident that mom and baby are well cared for.
Mom and Dad are relieved of some of the household chores: laundry, dishwasher loading and unloading, plant and pet care, cooking some meals, etc.
Mom has the time to get to know her baby (learning your baby's cues will make for a happier, healthier, more content baby).
|
| |
Your postpartum doula cares for mom, so that mom can care for baby.
|
| |
"We've already spent so much, and a child is an additional expense to any household, how do I justify and finance my postpartum doula?"
|
| |
The cost of formula alone over the course of one year compared to one year of successful breast feeding can run $1,160 (and up to $3,915 with "special formulas" for digestive issues.) Breastfeeding also offers health advantages to mom and baby, In fact, too many to list on this page*! These savings will pay for a lot of postpartum help, probably more than you need! Often, relatives are happy to pitch in for the cost of a postpartum doula, if they are too far away or too busy to help you personally. A fund can be collected at a baby shower. Sometimes, friends from work will offer to contribute.
|
Of course you and your family can do this yourselves!
A little help goes a long way during these fleeting moments of infancy. Babies change every day.
You deserve a few weeks to relax and to get to know your child, to find your rhythm.
You do deserve a postpartum doula.
With a little support and care, this time has the potential to be much more enjoyable, instead of
simply "do-able."
A postpartum doula job done well leaves a confident mother, and a happy family.
This can often be achieved within one month or less

Call before your birth to meet with your postpartum doula and to reserve optimum time for your family.
