- With
a doula your life can continue. A post-partum doula, takes
care of the mother as well as the baby as the need arises.
There is so much comfort in that. A doula loves babies and
that's what its all about.
- As
a doula, I want people to know that what is called alternative
care is really natural care. It is an instinctive relationship
parents have with their children. Information is helpful
but the core of life is the bond between mother and child.
I love to faciltate that bond.
Best wishes to all Moms and Dads!

A
Postpartum Doula
& the New Family
The
time after the baby is born, is the most demanding. Assurance
and reassurance that you are doing things right is the
first priority. Being a first time Mom can be an overwhelming.
The doula encourages the mom to trust her natural instincts
and develop confidence in her role as a mother.This is
a vital part of getting your new babies life off
to a great start. Many of the women that have used doula
services are second time moms, invariably they all wish
they had a doula for their first birth.
-
- These
are a few of the many aspects of help the post-partum doula
can provide.
- Demonstrate
and assist in newborn care
- Breastfeeding
help
- Encouragment
and support for the father
- Sibling
care and attention
- Household
help
- Having
a doula allows mom to remove herself from the household
responsibilites without guilt, knowing that her family's
needs are being tended to.
With
help, mothers have a better chance to rest and recover
from the birth, and parents can begin the lifelong bond
with their baby.
- Hi
Fiona,
I have been thinking of you over the last few days (fondly
I might add). I can't believe it has been a year and
a half since you helped us with Sadie. I miss you
and your cheerful way and amazing ability to help with everything
I could have imagined (effortlessley too).
I made a recipie of yours last night (chicken enchiladas
with the spanish rice) it was so fabulous. I
wanted to thank you for it and tell you we have affectionately
named them "Fiona's enchiladas"
I hope you are well, I'd love an update on what you are
doing and where you are.
All my love,
Laura
