Happy Hearts Postpartum Doula/Baby Nurse Services
As a postpartum doula, I provide nonjudgmental emotional and physical support, education, companionship, guidance and encouragement to a new family in the first weeks after the birth of their baby. My job is to educate and assist you as new parents on how to care for your new infant. It is so important to both your physical and emotional health to get the support and help you need in the early days and weeks following the birth of your baby. As a postpartum doula, I am there to teach you and demonstrate for you how to care for your new little one. We’ll go over holding, breast and/or bottle feeding, changing, bathing, calming techniques, etc. We will work together to help build your confidence in becoming the best parents you can be to your new little one, while at the same time making sure you are getting the rest and care you need for a healthy recovery. I will be there to help you in whatever capacity you need at any given time and those needs may change from day to day and week to week. Once you as parents feel confident in caring for your baby on your own during the day hours, you may decide to keep me on just during the night hours so that you can continue to get as much sleep as possible whether it’s for one month, six months or more depending on your family’s individual needs. With the addition of a new baby, comes a wonderful, yet sometimes challenging, adjustment for everyone in your home. I will draw on my knowledge and experience to help ease your transition into parenthood and to make it as smooth as possible for your entire family. When older siblings are involved this can sometimes be an added challenge. Learning how to balance your time to assure all your children are getting the attention they need is sometimes difficult in the beginning – as a mom of four myself, I will have some tips and suggestions for you in making it all work. I have received my postpartum doula certification from CAPPA (Childbirth and Postpartum Professional Association). www.cappa.net Day, overnight and 24 hour shifts are available. My goal as a postpartum doula/baby nurse is “to work myself out of a job and into a referral”, in other words, to provide you with the education, support, and rest you need in the early weeks that I am there, so that when I leave, you will have the confidence and the tools necessary to be the best parents you can be to your new little bundle of joy.
