Postpartum Support

Night Nanny

I offer Postpartum Doula Service throughout Tarrant County, serving since 1996 to families of singletons, twins, triplets, at risk newborns and children with special needs. A Postpartum Doula is a nonjudgmental woman with a quiet presence in your home. Most postpartum Doulas are mothers themselves who have breastfed their own children and enjoy motherhood. By giving emotional and breastfeeding support along with practical newborn care tips and taking care of necessary household tasks such as: grocery shopping; meal preparation; doing the dishes, laundry or tending to your older children, I help ease your transition into motherhood.

After the baby is born most new mothers and fathers appreciate the support of other women. Many of our mothers and extended family members are not always available to help, and even if they are available, some of our mothers do not have the breastfeeding experience to support a nursing mother. Postpartum Doulas usually work with the family for 3 to 5 hours a day for a week or two, as well as over nights, centered around your needs. My focus is to work myself out of a job by raising your skill and confidence level during my service to you.

Motherhood is a major life transition and the adjustment period feels less overwhelming when people are available to support you and address your questions and concerns. It is for this reason that women and their families value the help a Postpartum Doula offers. Doulas differ greatly from baby nurses as they are not there solely to tend to the baby’s needs; but to encourage and teach families to care for their own newborn and tend to a families bonding needs, more importantly, Mother's recovery. Doulas are flexible to the needs of each family. They help mothers and fathers to trust their instincts in meeting their baby’s needs.
