One day in my life as a Postpartum Doula 🌸
Before I begin, I check to see if Mom needs breakfast, water, or to use the restroom.
Once we've done a quick check-in, I usually head to the kitchen to make a nutritious breakfast and pour her some warm tea.
If Baby is awake, I take her so Mom can eat breakfast without interruptions.
After she is finished, we talk about how the house is doing and what may need to be done to help declutter her mind.
If she would like the focus to be on her today, then we begin with a castor oil wrap and foot soak while she nurses.
Afterwards, she lies down on a floor mat or on her bed, and we do some gentle stretches and body massages.
If Baby is still happy and resting, then Mom takes a shower while I clean up the house or prep snacks.
I check the diaper pail, the wipes, diapers, and Mom's postpartum basket to ensure they're all stocked.
After her shower, we do a check-in. How is breastfeeding going? How is her body feeling? Is she feeling fatigued at a certain point of the day? Do we need to adjust rhythms or add more food to her nursing cart? Who can she call to help 3-4pm when she needs an extra hand, Baby is fussy, and Dad isn't home yet?
Each day is different, so is your support!
