Postpartum Sessions with a Trained Doula - Learning Newborn Aftercare from Professionals

Postpartum doulas provide valuable information, physical assistance, and emotional support to the new mother and her family post-childbirth. She is both a nurse and a midwife. Her support is unparalleled for a first-time birthing mother. A postpartum doula instills confidence and helps a woman come out of her Baby Blues syndrome that affects her mental health. In a nutshell, she is with the mother from her late pregnancy days to the fourth trimester. Let’s learn more.

In-person Doula Sessions

An in-person doula session can be virtual or physical. It is divided into daily or weekly sessions. A birth & postpartum doula provides unconditional labor care, pain management, and scientific birth support. After a baby is born, she educates the mother about the standard infant care techniques and breastfeeding methods. For the services, a doula may charge approximately €50 - €100 an hour (* rates vary in different cities). If you are in Vienna, you can expect this rate for a standard postpartum doula service. In the UK, France, and Germany, rates are much higher.

Postpartum Doula Care Includes:

• Providing emotional support to the mother after childbirth.
• Help prepare meals for the mother and her family.
• Run occasional or daily errands to nearby stores.
• Helps with light household work, ensuring the new mother gets ample rest.
• Assist the mother in Yoga sessions and light stretching exercises to help relax the vaginal muscles after a non-Caesarian delivery.
• Educate the mother on breastfeeding positions, diapering, infant bathing, burping, and comforting techniques.
• Ensure a positive and relaxing atmosphere at home. It is for the well-being of the newborn.
• Help a new mother come out of her postpartum blues.

Postpartum Doula Shifts & Schedules

Usually, a postnatal midwife or doula works during daytime and nighttime in 5-6 hour shifts. If you want a 24/7 virtual doula service or at home, contact freelancers or agencies that help with qualified professionals. Convey your specific requirements, and they adjust the timings to suit your needs. If you initially prefer four to five days a week and gradually decrease it to two or three days, convey the same to the doula. She will tailor a suitable in-person session.
