What is Postpartum?
Postpartum literally means “after the baby” and is usually associated with the
first six weeks after the birth. What a Mother needs most during those first few
weeks is time to heal and plenty of time to get acquainted with her baby. It’s
important she gets lots of rest, which is difficult to do when she’s ‘on call’ 24
hours a day taking care of her baby. This is a time when a woman truly needs
to be pampered.
Pamper ‘to treat with extreme care and attention’
My role as a postpartum doula is to nurture you, enabling you to spend time
with your baby. Need a meal or a snack, let me prepare it; need a nap or a
shower, I’ll watch the baby, (and siblings) while you bathe or get some (much
needed) sleep. Or maybe, you just need someone to be there and listen. I’ll sit
with you as long as you need.
