Postpartum Packages
Breastfeeding Package
This unique package offers the incredible combination of extensive postpartum doula and IBCLC support all in one.
Through consistent in-person support from an IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant), reaching your breastfeeding goals can become a reality.
My postpartum doula packages are purchased in 16 hour blocks (4 hour minimum shifts). I typically am available during the hours of 8 a.m.- midnight. Please inquire about my availability for overnight shifts.
What does a postpartum doula do?
As a postpartum doula, I will:
- Provide care and mentor the mother during the first few weeks/months after her baby is born, supporting emotional and physical recovery from birth in a non-judgmental way
- Be a companion to the family during the transition into parenthood and nurture family bonding, including providing opportunities for adequate rest and relaxation
- Provide childcare to siblings and/or care for your baby so you can have individual time with your other children
- Promote the education of evidence based information, especially including newborn care (bathing, massage, calming and sleeping techniques, diapering and babywearing options, etc.)
- Provide referrals for services and providers that may assist you in your transition into parenthood
- Listen to birth stories and help parents process your experience
- Run errands and perform household organizational tasks including light cleaning (errands will be charged the current NYS milage rate and any items purchased at your request will require either payment up front or payment upon receipt)
- Help organize a daily schedule with providing tools for you to accomplish your goals, including assistance with attending doctors appointments or other errands with baby
- Assist with nutritious food options, including light meal preparation
- Provide breastfeeding support during our visits (if you wish to have additional breastfeeding support, please purchase my breastfeeding package). I cannot guarantee your breastfeeding success, but I can work with you and support you to help you reach your breastfeeding goals.
