postpartum doula care
Once you get home from the hospital, the real fun begins!
Sweet sounds and coos, baby smell, snuggles, first smiles... Sleep deprivation, spit up, blow out diapers... Cute outfits, photo ops, time off of work... Triple the laundry (where does it all come from?), less time to cook and clean (where does time go?), body pain (when did I use THAT muscle?)... Baby blues or Postpartum Depression...
We will gladly take care of you & your household by handling some of the mundane tasks so that you can focus on baby. We can make sure you are doing ok and provide information or resources that may make your transition to new mommyhood easier.
