Postpartum Doula Support
The first few days, weeks and months after bringing a baby home can exciting, happy, but overwhelming and challenging at the same time, even for an experienced parent and family.
As experienced postpartum doulas, we have experience with singletons, twins and multiples. We will help you during your most vulnerable time - bringing a new baby (or babies) home. We will work together to come up with a postpartum support plan that suits your family dynamic and we can change and adapt as your needs change. The goal is to provide you with exceptional support, with a tender approach, to make you feel more confident and less worried and stressed, by helping you with your physical and emotional recovery after bringing a baby home.
Included in our support is a postpartum information package including milk storage guidelines, milestones in the first 2 years and a newborn care guide
