Darien, United States – November 17, 2022 / The Impeccable Nanny Agency /
The first few weeks after childbirth is known as the “fourth trimester” because, as a new mom, your stress is not over even though the baby is here.
You need time to recover from the pregnancy and labor stress and adjust to your new life, but unfortunately, you do not have enough time to rest because you have to attend to your newborn. This is where postpartum doula services step in to help.
The impeccable Nanny, a nanny and postpartum doula agency in Darien, Connecticut, explains who a postpartum doula is, what they do and why you should consider hiring one.
Who is a Postpartum Doula?
A postpartum doula is a person who supports a new mum and her family during the first few weeks or months after birth.
A postpartum doula is a trained professional who works with a new mom, provides her with all necessary information, supports her and her family as they adjust to the changes, and welcomes the latest addition to their family.
Unlike birth doulas, postpartum doulas are non-medical professionals, and their job starts after the baby has arrived.
Postpartum doulas provide emotional, informational, and physical support to the new mum as she recovers from pregnancy and labor stress. Most postpartum doulas also provide siblings care and light household tasks, allowing the new parents to have time for themselves.
Depending on your needs and agreement, some postpartum doulas provide overnight services, allowing the new parents to enjoy a good night’s rest.
What Does a Postpartum Doula Do?
Generally, the role of a postpartum doula is to help new moms and their families adjust to the new development in their lives. The activities under this role can vary from family to family, depending on each family’s needs.
Typically, postpartum doula services include:
Caring for the newborn
Taking care of the older children
Helping with light household tasks
Doing light household tasks
Providing emotional support for the new mum
Giving advice on infant care and breastfeeding
Helping with cooking and light errands
Providing physical support for mums that underwent cesarean section.
Why Do I Need a Postpartum Doula?
Hiring a postpartum doula will reduce stress and provide an emotional support system to help you navigate your way through this crucial period.
A postpartum doula will also answer all your questions about childcare ( or direct you to where you can get answers) and show you everything you need to adjust to your new role.
Postpartum doulas help take care of your home, run light errands, and cook, giving you enough time to rest, bond with your new baby, and do other things you love without feeling overwhelmed.
