Specialists In Newborn Care
A professional doula offers unconditional support to help parents find their parenting style. Your doula (aka "the baby whisperer"), will reveal your baby's secrets to you and troubleshoot challenges alongside you. While she's with you, your doula will make sure you are well cared for with good food, time to shower or rest, and friendly companionship. The Doulas of Philadelphia team is made of professionally trained and insured caregivers.
Your postpartum doula will help you:
- Understand your growing baby
- Find your rythym and set up routines
- Get more sleep at night
- Have less worry about "is this normal?"
- Balance caring for older children
- Keep your fridge stocked and house tidy
- Have the best referrals for community resources
- Troubleshoot nursing, pumping and bottlefeeding
- Feel fully rested and confident while enjoying your maternity leave
We do it all.
Daytime Support
During the day your doula will care for your whole family. Doulas can walk you through your first bath, or cutting your baby's nails. She might help you with laundry or cooking while you nap or snuggle your baby. Doulas can come with you to doctors appointments, help meal plan and go to the grocery store, or even help you shop for new baby gear or clothes for yourself.
Overnight Care
When you're sleep deprived and bleary-eyed its hard to think straight, make decisions, and be the person you want to be. Both breastfeeding and bottle-feeding parents can benefit from having extra help at night. Imagine waking up refreshed to a tidy kitchen, and a happy baby, and a cup of coffee made by your doula.
“My doula’s knowledge, experience, and consistency is worth everything to my family and me. I get to sleep soundly when she is here because I know my son is in good hands.”
Let's make a plan.
