Postpartum Doula Care FAQ
What is Postpartum Doula Care?
Postpartum Doula Care is professional, experienced support for newborns and parents during the first 12 weeks postpartum. It includes:
-
Practical Support - Understanding normal newborn behavior, soothing, settling, and cue-based care, help recognizing what’s normal vs. when to seek medical care, and gentle guidance around normal sleep rhythms (without sleep training).
-
Recovery and Adjustment - Emotional support and space to process your birth experience, normalizing the ups and downs of early postpartum, ensuring you’re eating, hydrating, and resting, light household support related to baby care (washing bottles or pump parts, tidying feeding spaces), creating space for you to shower, nap, or step outside
-
Finding your Footing - My roles isn't to teach you to “do things perfectly.” My goal is to provide you with steady support when everything feels new, while helping you build confidence in caring for your baby, feel grounded as you recover and adjust, make informed decisions about feeding, and move through the first 12 weeks with more less overwhelm.
Who is Postpartum Doula Care for?
Doula support during the first twelve weeks postpartum is especially helpful if you:
-
are a first-time parent
-
are navigating feeding questions or challenges
-
want expert guidance as questions crop up
-
don’t have nearby family support
-
are recovering from a difficult or unexpected birth
-
want professional, non-judgmental care in your home
-
simply want to take a nap or move about the house freely knowing that your little one is safe and cared for.
