Traditional Postpartum Support

There are many approaches to postpartum doula support. Influenced by different cultural practices and nourishment, the goal is to promote healing and restoration in the mother immediately after birth. Mothers are recommended to stay in bed for at least the first 5 days of postpartum after a vaginal delivery. If birth came by c-section, time is bed doubles to a minimum of 10 days.

A postpartum doula comes in to care for the mother. 

 The primary focus is to create an environment where the mother feels safe and at ease enough to allow herself to rest, heal, and blossom into motherhood. We are expected to be wonder women and do it all, even after birth. This support will promote proper bonding with your baby, improve long-term breastfeeding success, and reduce the occurrence of postpartum mood disorders.
