You can hire your Postpartum Doula for day shifts (typically 4-6 hours) or night shifts (8-10 hours). During the day shifts, the doula will focus on education, helping with the baby so the mother can rest, shower and take care of herself, breastfeeding support, and just overall mental and physical well being of the mother. During the night shift, the doula’s main focus is taking care of the baby throughout the night so that the parents can get a full night’s rest. The doula is in charge of feeding the baby or bringing the baby to the mother to breastfeed if this is her choice. She may also do light housekeeping and other chores before morning time. Our postpartum work is very individualized, and we work with each family with ways that we can best be of service to them. A big part of that being our informational support. We try to understand the traditions and values ​​of each family, and provide them with the information that is best suited. Parents can have moments of anxiety and worry, that are usually clarified when they receive the correct information. From our experience we have seen that in many cases after birth, the family contacts a large number of specialists, starting with the maternity hospital and then with the local nurse and doctor. Their views may not all be the same, and their recommendations may be conflicting and very confusing for the parents. In this case, the doula helps parents figure out how to make a decision based on information. The Doulas work extensively with obstetrics, maternity and infant research databases.
