Postpartum Doula Care

Mothers should be nurtured, too.

Postpartum Doula Care is one of Baby Bloom’s most beloved services, as we are firm believers in nurturing mothers as much as their babies.

Two significant factors that play into your transition back home are tending to the needs of your newborn and your physical recovery after labor and delivery. We know that the most successful mothers are those who make time to care for themselves. 

Having a postpartum doula in your home during the first few weeks can help your family adjust to life with a new baby, while allowing you to rest and recover after labor and delivery. 

Evidence shows us that new mothers who are nurtured both physically and emotionally have a higher chance of breastfeeding success, having a swift recovery, and a greater fight against postpartum depression.

In addition to newborn care, your postpartum doula can assist with a variety of your family’s unique needs, including:

• Washing and sterilizing bottles, pump parts, pacifiers, etc.

• Bottle preparation and storage

• Laundry

• Sibling care

• Pet care

• Meal preparation 

• Light housekeeping 

• Organization & maintenance of nursery

• Running errands close to workplace 

• Create a smooth transition for the family during the newborn stage (birth-3 months)

• Assist you with any (baseline) feeding issues baby may have, including formula feeding and breastfeeding support or knowing when to recommend pediatrician or IBCLC support for extensive issues. 

• Troubleshoot potential issues of concern with the newborn and offer professional options to resolve them

• Sleep Conditioning by using a gentle approach to help your baby develop sleep habits that lead to sleeping throughout the night

• Parent education and emotional support
