Hiring a newborn care specialist and postpartum doula can be life-changing. Whether you are a first-time parent or have multiple children, the first few months with a new baby can feel overwhelming. Most parents describe the transition home from the hospital as “nerve-racking.” When Jennifer worked in the mother-baby Postpartum unit as a newborn care specialist RN, she could see the fear in the parents’ eyes as she went over discharge instructions. After frequently being told, “I wish we could take you home with us,” she started offering services as a newborn care specialist and postpartum doula.
When most people get a new puppy, hiring a dog trainer is not uncommon. When the day comes to bring our newborn baby home from the hospital, we feel ‘lesser than’ if we need or ask for help. Asking for help is a sign of strength. When parents have the proper emotional and physical support, it has been shown to increase confidence, reduce postpartum depression, allow for a quicker recovery time, and more opportunities to bond with the baby.
As a newborn care specialist and postpartum doula expert, we are trained to help you through the unknowns and uncertainties post-delivery. A little reassurance and a safe space to return to when things get tough could be all you need to help ease this transition.
