What does a Postpartum Doula do?
As new parents embark on the journey of welcoming a newborn into their lives, they are often met with a whirlwind of emotions, questions, and adjustments. It's during this delicate and crucial postpartum period that the guidance and support of a daytime postpartum doula shine brightly. From providing essential newborn care assistance to offering emotional support, breastfeeding guidance, and light household tasks, daytime postpartum doulas play a multifaceted role in nurturing and empowering families.
Daytime supports can include:
Newborn Care Assistance
This can include guidance on feeding (breastfeeding or formula feeding), diapering, bathing, and soothing techniques to help parents feel more confident in caring for their newborn.
Emotional Support
Postpartum doulas offer emotional support and reassurance to new parents as they navigate the joys and challenges of early parenthood. They provide a listening ear, offer encouragement, and help parents process their feelings and experiences.
Breastfeeding Support
For parents who choose to breastfeed, postpartum doulas can offer guidance on positioning and latching, troubleshooting common breastfeeding challenges, and providing resources for lactation support if needed
Light Household Tasks
Postpartum doulas may assist with light household tasks such as laundry, tidying up, meal preparation, and running errands to help alleviate some of the burdens of daily household responsibilities for new parents
Education and Resources
Postpartum doulas provide evidence-based information on newborn care, postpartum recovery, infant development, and other relevant topics. They may also connect parents with community resources and support groups.
Physical Recovery Support
Postpartum doulas can offer guidance and support to new mothers as they navigate their physical recovery from childbirth, including assistance with postpartum exercises, positioning for comfort, and promoting self-care practices
