Postpartum Doula Services

As a postpartum doula, I offer expertise and support to new mothers and their families in the weeks and months following birth.  My services include the following:

• Care of the Postpartum Mother
• Breastfeeding Support, including latch, pumping, storage of milk, and tandem nursing
• Basic Guide to Newborn Care
• Recognizing Postpartum Blues or Depression
• Nutrition for the Family
• Postpartum Exercise
• How to Manage Siblings
• Babywearing Support
• Guide to Local Mothers’ Groups and Support Groups
• Light Meal Preparation and Help with Household Organization
• Managing Employment After Baby (balancing work and family, childcare options, and how to make staying at home feasible)

Rates:

$45 for up to an hour of support over the telephone

$65 an hour for postpartum doula services at your home, hospital room, or other location of your choice

$125 for a two-hour breastfeeding support and life with new baby consultation at your home, hospital room, or other location of your choice.  While this session is designed to primarily cover breastfeeding-related issues, there is plenty of time allotted to address your specific needs (whether it be newborn care, how to manage employment after having the baby, postpartum nutrition and exercise, or any of the other topics listed above).

(Travel time longer than ten minutes will be charged as part of your session.)

My Bradley Method students receive a 10% discount on all postpartum doula services.
