Postpartum Doula Support
Traditionally, when women gave birth they had the support of many women to help them care for their newborn baby for several weeks or even months. In our society today it is the norm for new mothers to find themselves alone at home with a new baby, either immediately or often within a week of giving birth. This is often a difficult time for new moms, and is also a very important time for developing that special bond with your baby. The risk of postpartum mood disorders is proven to be higher in women who have little or no support during the early weeks after birth.
Your postpartum doula will provide you with the physical and emotional support you need in the early weeks. She will also provide resources and referrals to outside sources of support within your community.
Overnight Support
(Alberta Only)
It is impossible to predict what your baby's sleep habits will be. For many new moms (and Dads too!), sleep deprivation is a factor which is often overlooked. Lack of sleep can lead to increased incidence of Postpartum Mood Disorders and lack of confidence in your abilities as new parents. For this reason, Mia Bella Mamma offers overnight doula support. Your doula will come to your house in the evening, help you establish good night-time routines for yourself and baby, and provide infant care throughout the night while you get some much needed rest. This support is fully compatible with breastfeeding relationships as well.
Overnight support is $25 per hour with a 6 hour minimum. Packages are available.
Please contact LeeAnne for availability and to book your overnight doula.
