Uninterrupted sleep. A sufficient amount of sleep is imperative when practicing self-care. Having a support person experienced in newborn care can give you the reassurance you need to get adequate rest and wake up feeling rejuvenated.
Feeding support. Whether you decide breast or bottle feeding is best for your family, both have significant information and guidelines you might not be familiar with.
Your partner works long hours or out of town. Bringing a new baby home and adjusting to parenthood can be stressful enough. Having a partner that needs to be gone for long periods of time can make it harder for you to adjust and find your rhythm. Your doula attunes to your needs and helps you find that rhythm.
You don’t have any close family. In a lot of cases, family members are the first to offer their support to the new parents. When you live a long way from your family, it can leave you feel overwhelmed and alone. Your doula steps in and offers their unconditional support to make sure this doesn’t happen.
Because you deserve it! Support should not expire once the baby is no longer a part of your body. And, sometimes mothers need to be mothered too.
