Postnatal Doula:

The support offered by me as your postnatal doula is unique to you, as every mother’s needs are individual following the birth of their baby.  I would be there as little or as often as you like, offering you my full, unquestioning and non-judgemental support, both practically and emotionally, as you settle gently into your new way of life with your wonderful new baby.

The kind of things I would do as a postnatal doula are……

• Support you emotionally and practically, offering you a compassionate, understanding, listening ear.

• Support you with breast or bottle-feeding.  As a certified breastfeeding peer supporter active in the local community, I have a great level of knowledge and experience supporting new mothers with breastfeeding.

• Undertake practical tasks such as shopping, light housework, baby’s laundry, cooking meals, preparing feeds, making drinks/light snacks for you and your visitors, answering the door and phone, basically anything that enables you to continue spending precious bonding time with your new baby.

• Looking after your baby while you get some much needed rest, or giving you time to spend with your partner and/or older children, changing nappies, going out for walks.

• Looking after and playing with your older children, supporting the integration of your new baby into the family.

• Provide you with information on local resources that you might need as parents.

Fee: £15 per hour plus expenses, minimum 2 hours per day.
