As a Postpartum Doula serving the Boston area, I offer:
-Newborn care and guidance
-Lactation counseling
-Sleep guidance
-Grocery shopping
-Cooking
-Dishwashing
-Laundry
-Assistance with the care of older siblings
-Trash removal and recycling
-Tidying the house
-Errands
-Other tasks may be agreed upon
My
goal is to create a nurturing, restful atmosphere in which parents may eat,
shower, nap, and recover from childbirth, surgery, or adjust to adoption.
I can offer guidance in skills such as reading baby’s cues, calming
techniques, swaddling, baby wearing, bathing, cloth and disposable diapering, and elimination
communication. As
your doula, I can provide breastfeeding support within the scope of an
experienced Certified Lactation Counselor (such as correction of a painful
latch, techniques to help with milk supply, breastfeeding twins, use of a
breast pump and introducing bottles).
