But What Will You Do?

Time to Rest, Time to Recover

There is so much going on during the early days with a newborn, I can help you and the other family members take the time to bond and adjust to your baby. You will also be given time to recover from the birth and take a chance to do the simple things such as shower and nap. When you are being cared for, you will find you will have so much more energy and patience to respond to the challenges that arise.

Breastfeeding Support

I am well trained to help you get off to a great start with breastfeeding. My aim is to help you reach the goal you have set yourself, and if issues arise which are beyond my scope of ability I help you find expert lactation support so that you never feel as if you are without options.

Early Parenting

Many parents out there did not just 'get it' straight out the gate. Nappy changing, nail cutting, bathtime... it all has to be done and once you have your newborn home it can feel almost overwhelming. I help you learn the tricks and techniques so that you are confident doing it.

Sibling Adjustment

I help you stay connected with your older children whilst caring for your newborn. The extra help I provide in other areas also ensures that you have more time to help your newborn and any siblings get off to a great start.

Sleep Strategies

What is normal for a newborn? I'll help your family understand why babies act the way that they do, and how to create a strategy that works for your whole family.

Light Housework/Cooking/Errands

When things begin to feel like they are piling up and you can't stay on top of your normal household chores, I help you get ahead. Whether it is meal prepping for the week, tackling that mountain of laundry or nipping out to the shops to collect the shopping, I'm more than happy to lend a hand.

Emotional Support

Not every mother feels elated after the birth, and not every birth goes to plan. You are not alone and shouldn't have to feel that way. I understand the typical ups and downs but will also be there for you if you feel you are in need of further support for the way you feel. I can help take that step to finding the support that you need.

Resources and Connections

Together we can identify your extended support system! Every mother I know has had outside help of some kind, ranging from regular massage therapy to simply attending mother and baby support groups to connect with other moms. I have a large resource base to choose from, and will be happy to help you find whatever you feel you need from your community.
CHECK AVAILABILITY
I do not currently offer overnight postpartum doula support as I still have two young children and prefer not to schedule nights away from them. However, if you are looking for that service I would be more than happy to help put you in touch with the postpartum doulas I am familiar with who do offer such a service.
Picture
As your postpartum doula I respect your parenting choices and philosophy. I also abide by a code of conduct which includes strict confidentiality. However if you are struggling and would like to explore your options for getting help I have resources which I can make available to you on request.
