Kindred Postnatal Doula

05/04/2021

This says it all We need to increase the importance and awareness about the care of mums postnatally. Instead of just buying gifts for newborn how about gifts for mum - some new pjs or skin care, takeout from their favorite restaurant or vouchers for a postnatal doula. Let’s not forget to take care of mum whilst she’s taking care of baby

Having babies is not something we’re supposed to do alone. If we look back in history or around the world, we can see how important the village community mindset around mother and baby really is, yet we seem to have lost that in our society.
We need to learn to ask for help and realise this doesn’t mean that we’re weak, it just gives us more time to focus on the important things. Whether asking friends or family members to make you a cup of tea or pop on the dishwasher when they visit, or employing a postnatal doula or other professionals for a few months after baby arrives, be sure to ask for help when you need it.

Anyone else get overstimulated by a messy house? Or can’t relax knowing the dishwasher needs to go on and a there’s a pile of laundry to tend to? A postnatal doula can help with this plus make your surroundings as comfortable as possible; extra cushions for breastfeeding ✔️ baby changing stations set up around the house ✔️ the smell of delicious food cooking ✔️ clean sheets for you and baby ✔️ a postnatal doula can take some of those mundane tasks away from you to free up more time for newborn cuddles.

Have you ever heard of the saying you can’t pour from an empty cup? A Postnatal Doula can take care of baby whilst you have some much needed time to prioritize yourself - you can spend time resting or practicing self-care, whatever YOU need.

We spend a lot of time thinking and learning about what might happen during birth but forget to plan for those first weeks and months when baby comes home - that’s when the real hard work starts! Whether it's cooking up batches of food ready to be defrosted, setting up changing stations around the house or helping you find your ‘village’; a postnatal doula can help you plan, assist in preparing your home and your mind, plus much more.

Whether helping you to become informed on the different options available regarding feeding so you can make the right choices for you and baby, the practicalities of pumping and bottle feeding, or assisting you with breastfeeding; there are many ways in which your postnatal doula can help you have the best feeding journey possible.

One of the ways a postnatal doula could help you, is to alleviate some of the cooking duties - leaving you some much needed time to relax or to spend with baby/older siblings. Whether it’s recreating some of your favourite comfort foods or cooking up new nutritious tasty meals and snacks, your postnatal doula can make sure you’re staying hydrated and nourished when you need it most.
