POSTPARTUM & INFANT CARE
Professional Support for the Journey into Parenthood.
Picture This.
You've just given birth to your baby and you are preparing to leave the hospital. It's time to take your new baby home; your bags are packed and the nurses are saying goodbye. Suddenly, a wave of self-doubt rushes over you. You fear that you won’t know what to do. There is so much to consider… Breastfeeding... Bottle feeding... Newborn care… Crying… All without sleep, while recovering from giving birth?!?!
FULL STOP! Don't panic! Appalachian Doulas are here!
Our doulas are available to give your family the individualized support that caters to your needs as you settle in and acclimate to life with your new baby.
We know… There are so many decisions to make...
Attachment parenting?
Scheduled parenting?
A combination of both?
Again, don't panic! Appalachian Doulas are experts in all parenting philosophies and are able to assist you as you dig deep into your desires for parenting your baby.
Our ability to strategize with you and then build and implement systems based on your choices, adds a layer of support that unfortunately, most families do without…
How you feel emotionally is so important during this process. In fact, your entire family depends on your strong emotional recovery from giving birth. However, they may be ill-equipped to help you navigate the constant changes of emotion during this transition. Our doulas are specifically trained to recognize the signs and symptoms of normal emotional postpartum recovery, as well as postpartum mood disorders. Having this level of support is like having a safety net during the biggest, most rewarding upheaval of your life.
Before you find yourself traveling the lonely, treacherous trail to Laundry Ridge, or climbing to the peak of Mt. Diaper, add a doula from Appalachian Doulas to your team!
