Why You Need A Postpartum Doula

By

“Friends and family, this part is for you. What if instead of cutesy but mostly unused baby items from Target, we gifted mothers with so many hours of care from a local postpartum doula? Not sure if you could swing that by yourself? Why not go in with a group of friends or family? This is a gift that makes a difference and contributes to the health, happiness, and mental well-being of a postpartum mom, which then contributes to the health, happiness, and mental well-being of an entire family. That’s a pretty amazing gift.”

How many adults when they wake have a drink of water?

“Waking at night is also thought to be protective. Babies want to be close to their mother at night and sleeping close to them helps babies maintain their temperature28, heart rate29 and have steadier breathing30. Sleeping too deeply may be a risk factor for SIDS. Babies who have died of SIDS are more likely to have longer periods of uninterrupted sleep and moved about less in their sleep.”
