New babies are amazing tiny little bundles of pure joy! But they make their own rules and can leave their parents confused and frustrated about how to best navigate meeting their complex little needs.
While you embrace the amazing, we’ll help you navigate the challenges!
At Doulas of Raleigh we know that supporting new parents through the postpartum period is not just about caring for the newborn. It’s about understanding the newborn family experience and the unique desires that accompany each family.
“Exceptional postpartum doula care begins with your doula gathering a comprehensive understanding of your parenting philosophies and personal goals. Only once this has been established can your family and your doula begin a collaborative journey together.”
Commitment
At Doulas of Raleigh, we are committed to this process as we know that the benefits of postpartum doula care are rooted in an attuned, team approach.
Professionalism
Choosing to hire a postpartum doula is a valuable decision for many new families. Choosing to work with Doulas of Raleigh ensures professionalism, compassion, and flexibility.
The benefits associated with the postpartum and infant care provided by Doulas of Raleigh includes:
Emotional Support - With a profound understanding of the emotional nuances, and the signs and symptoms associated with the mental and emotional needs that can arise during the postpartum period, your postpartum doula will help you navigate your “new norms” and/or support you in finding a vetted resource for issues outside of what would be anticipated as normal.
Decreased Stress and Anxiety - The in-person presence alone of your postpartum doula who has gathered a clear picture of your wishes, needs, desires, vulnerabilities, and fears decreases stress and can relieve some of your anxiety. Alleviating concerns and uncertainties can make room for confidence and empowerment, promoting a more peaceful, relaxed, and healthful environment.
Infant Feeding Support - Our certified professional postpartum & infant care doulas are fully equipped with in-depth knowledge regarding all infant feeding modalities. Whether choosing to exclusively breastfeed, bottle feed, or combination feed, with our support you will be in front of the challenges and thriving as you confidently feed your baby.
Affirmation and Encouragement - As you learn to navigate your newborn’s needs regarding comfort, sleep, feeding, hygiene, and more, you will have the constant support and encouragement of an expert by your side. With a non-judgmental approach, your doula will answer your real-time questions, enabling you to confidently discover your best choices in parenting.
Improved Overall Sleep - We all know that sleep is an essential ingredient in the body’s ability to recover and restore itself. With the support of one of our overnight postpartum doulas you can get the rest you need to seize each new day. Trust that while you sleep, your baby is in the hands of a compassionate expert providing care that is consistent with your wishes.
Ultimately, each newborn experience is a once in a lifetime opportunity that you will treasure forever!
“The Doulas of Raleigh were amazing to work with both before and after the birth of my son! They were immediately responsive when we weren’t sure about scheduling which nights with [our] amazing postpartum doula. And also had multiple points where they checked in with us about goals and getting the right fit for our family’s needs. I can’t say enough good things about the care and attention we received, we loved having [our doula] in our home and are better parents because of her.”
“I’ve experienced postpartum with and without doula support. The support [our doulas] gave us with Doulas of Raleigh was life changing! After the birth of my first son I experienced several health issues that took me over a year to heal from. My husband and I decided to seek support with our second son and it was the best decision we ever made....We are forever grateful to Doulas of Raleigh who worked hard to ensure that we had high quality support each week. If we ever have a third baby we know exactly who to call.”
