The Role of a Postpartum Doula
The role of a Postpartum Doula is to mother the mother. A Postpartum Doula provides non-judgmental emotional, physical and informational support following the birth of your baby. A Postpartum Doula will be there to care for the mother specifically therefore allowing you to care for your baby. Naturally, there will be times when you require to take a nap or take a quick shower where they will care for your baby.
We have a team of certified Postpartum Doulas available for interview who are there to support you and your family. Their aim is to nurture the family and allow you to build up the self confidence in a non-judgmental atmosphere where advice and reassurance is available whenever required.
When you deliver your newborn baby, you can feel very vulnerable. Some empathy, a hug, or even sharing a joke can make the world of difference. In addition, our Doulas are understanding – they know exactly what you and your baby need. They help you with soothing techniques, breastfeeding and understanding of your newborn’s behavior. They can also help the whole family adjust to the new arrival, providing support to siblings, partners and even grandparents.
Sasha, my postpartum overnight doula, was absolutely wonderful. Even though I was exclusively breastfeeding, she helped me get more sleep and that’s all a new mom can ask for! She also helped with laundry and prepping healthy snacks for me for the next day. I would recommend her to anyone. She has great advice and her warm demeanor made me feel so comfortable.
The staff, especially Jessica, were amazing through the entire process. From beginning to end, she was very responsive and super helpful.
I would recommend this company, and Sasha, to anyone who is looking for extra help. You will not regret it!
Casey from VancouverWe hired Keli to help ease the transition of single parenting during the day, with my husband’s return to work after parental leave. We were incredibly happy with the care she provided to our daughter – she has such a calm demeanour and natural talent in connecting with children on their level. We felt completely confident leaving Keli alone in charge of our daughter, allowing me to run errands and get our household in order. We can’t recommend Keli enough!
The McLeod Family from CalgaryFirst off, I want to say a few words about Lindsay. I had emailed new mummy company to book an at home prenatal class (as most hospitals were all booked up to take a class in hospital). Lindsay immediately got back to me within a few hours after emailing her. She coordinated everything for us and was extremely genuine and caring. We were booked with Tasha, an after birth doula. She was extremely knowledgeable and really educated us on the process of labor and after birth. My husband and I are so happy we chose new mummy company and would definitely recommend them to our family and friends. We are now wanting to book a doula for the big day. Thank you for everything Lindsay and Tasha.
