Nurturing Emotional & Physical Support for New Families
Manhattan life can be exciting and full tilt, but when you have a new baby, you need everything to slow down a little. You want to know that somebody is there for you when you’re feeling overwhelmed or stressed. A postpartum doula is there to provide exactly that level of support.
When you need to vent your frustrations, your doula is there to listen. Wellness is about more than just the physical aspects of health. Your emotional self needs nurturing, even when you become a parent. After all, when you understand and regulate your own emotions well, you can teach your child how to do the same.
However, physical health is also a critical consideration for parents. Moms and dads need to eat well, sleep well, and stay fit. For new mothers, this often means taking the time to recover after the exhausting physical act of labor. Your doula will support you in light household chores while you rest and can even provide advice on diet and nutrition to help you recover more thoroughly.
How Our Doulas Support Your Birth Journey
Your birth journey doesn’t end when your beautiful baby is born. Did you know that many professionals refer to the first three months after birth as the fourth trimester? This is to indicate that, for many mothers (and fathers), the transitional period during this time is as much of an upheaval as the birth itself. It’s during this time that postpartum depression is most likely to develop, particularly if the mother is unsupported or feels overwhelmed.
A highly experienced doula is there to offer comfort and guidance when times are tough but also to get hands-on and help you out with the grittier aspects of being a parent. They’ll care for your child as needed, dealing with diapers, bottles, and more when you need to nap, deal with work commitments, or have one-on-one time with another one of your children.
