Newborn Care Education
At Circle Birth, our postpartum doulas are essential in offering personalized newborn care education to meet the immediate and evolving needs of new parents. While a comprehensive newborn care class provides foundational knowledge, our postpartum doulas act as an ongoing resource, addressing the real-time questions and concerns that arise once you're caring for your baby at home. The nuances of newborn care often surface through daily experiences, and with regular visits, our doulas offer guidance on these specific challenges. This ensures you feel confident, informed, and fully supported as you bond with and care for your newborn.
Informational & Emotional Support
At Circle Birth, we recognize that it's not just a baby who is born—there’s also a new mother and father stepping into parenthood. Our doulas are highly trained to support you through this transition, offering guidance on postpartum mood disorders, and providing practical help with latch and feeding, as well as using baby or breastfeeding tools.
Beyond hands-on support, we are here as compassionate listeners, helping you navigate the emotional and physical adjustments of becoming a parent and discovering your new family dynamic.
Feeding Support
Feeding a newborn can be challenging, from achieving a proper latch to selecting the right bottle or pump, maintaining milk supply, and safely storing breast milk. Each step is essential to ensure your baby is well-fed, growing, and content. A postpartum doula from Circle Birth provides personalized, hands-on feeding support tailored to your needs, offering practical tips as you navigate feeding at home. While a breastfeeding class is highly recommended for those planning to breastfeed, your postpartum doula can complement this learning by addressing specific concerns that may arise, ensuring a smoother and more confident feeding journey for both you and your baby.
Effortless Home Maintenance
Our postpartum doulas go the extra mile to ensure your home environment remains as comfortable and stress-free as possible. In addition to providing expert newborn care, they assist with light household tasks like washing baby bottles and pump parts, doing laundry, and tidying up the nursery. During daytime support, they can also help with meal preparation, catering to any dietary needs your family may have. This allows you to focus on bonding with your baby while we take care of the everyday chores, making your transition into parenthood smoother and more manageable.
Thorough Nightly/Daily Reports
Our postpartum doula will provide you with detailed daily reports summarizing all the events from both the day and night. These reports will give you peace of mind by keeping you informed about your baby’s sleep patterns, feeding progress, and preferred soothing techniques. Additionally, our doula will share any new strategies or adjustments we've implemented to enhance your baby's comfort and overall well-being. This ensures you stay fully connected and confident in the care your baby receives, even while you rest or step away, knowing that all important details are covered and communicated clearly.
