Guidance on Postpartum Recovery & Healing
One of the most important aspects of having a doula in your life is that they can support you with post-labor recovery and healing. Your wellness is paramount. Parenting is easier and more meaningful when you’re pouring from a full cup. In other words, you need to be healthy and happy to provide the best for your child.
However, giving birth is an exhausting and potentially traumatic experience. You need time to rest and recuperate and to let your body heal. A doula provides the guidance and assistance to allow you to do that. They will proffer advice on proper rest, nutrition, and more while caring for your child and handling the household chores that simply can’t wait, such as laundry and the dishes.
Your emotional well-being is of critical importance, too. An experienced doula is someone you can talk to about any parenting issue, no matter how small or unimportant you may think it is. If it’s on your mind, it’s always best to talk and get advice. The right support during this time — often called the fourth trimester — can help bolster mental health and emotional resilience.
Supporting New Parents with Emotional & Physical Care
Postpartum doulas in Brooklyn are there for all caregivers. While mothering the mother is so important to help prevent postpartum depression and stalled physical recovery, our team recognizes that fathers need support, too. Your doula will talk your baby’s dad through simple ways to bond via skin-to-skin contact, like a gentle massage. They can also provide emotional support when fathers, siblings, or other family members are struggling with the strains of adjusting to having a baby in the house.
We can help you reorganize your new home into a cozy nest with everything just in reach. Your doula can support your physical recovery by removing the need to dig through piles of clothes or baby accessories to find a single onesie. They’ll help show you how to be effortlessly organized and make parenting easier for all of you.
