Postpartum Support

Please do not place your order without sending me a message first. After discussing your needs and gathering requirements, I will send you a custom offer.

The first six weeks following birth is one of the most critical periods for the baby and the mum. Often, I see mums giving all of themselves for their new baby but neglecting their own well-being even though it is just as critical for them to be mothered!
This period postpartum should be a time for every mum to not just provide for but to bond and fall in love with her newborn and a time for her to rest and allow her body to heal and recover from childbirth.
With families living far away and their partners returning to work shortly after the birth, I have seen mums feeling alone, overwhelmed and exhausted as they battle with the desire to be a good mum and the guilt of not being able to cope.
Postpartum Care is for every mum who wants to be her best self, and I believe this should never be a luxury but a necessity. Every mum needs and deserves to be mothered over this period; nurtured in a non-judgmental way so that the best mum within her will be available for her new baby.

Postpartum Support - How does it look like?

Be Prepared

A catch up will be organised after you engage me as your Doula to establish a Postpartum Plan that is tailored to your personal and family circumstances and needs. During this catch-up, we will aim to identify your ‘ideal’ postpartum, which includes setting out a plan that identifies your postpartum needs and support network, as well as establishing the type of care you need from me.
In addition to this, I will answer all the questions you may have and provide you information about breastfeeding, newborn behaviour and infant care. This aims to reduce any potential anxiety and self-doubt. I believe that having a good postpartum plan and education will empower you to face your postpartum and motherhood with confidence.

Postpartum Visit

Postpartum Care starts once you and your baby are back at home. We will make arrangements for me to come to your home and provide you with all the support you have identified you need. I will be available to you as regularly as you need, especially in the first six weeks postpartum to ensure that you are cared for.

Your postpartum care may include the following:
Breastfeeding support such as latching, different positions and breastmilk production.
Postpartum massage and bodywork ([url=https://www.mumsoasis.com/postpartum-bodywork]find out more[/url]) to promote healing and well-being.

Meal preparation and cooking nourishing postpartum meals in your home.

Support to find your own parenting style and to trust your instincts and intuition.
