Postpartum & Infant Support
Coming home with your newborn baby is a time like no other. It is literally as if the entire world stands still. Nothing takes priority over you caring for the baby that you have waited so long to meet. Unfortunately, that often includes your own recovery from giving birth. And, if that birth was surgical, it increases your need to slow down, and take it easy.
We know that your newborn is your focus, and we certainly understand why! But we also know that YOU need to be someone’s focus as well. In order to rest, recover and be the best version of yourself for your little one, you need support. And that’s where we come in!
Bell House Doulas Postpartum & Infant Care Doulas prioritize you. What you need, when you need it, and, we even provide reminders of why you need it when necessary!
We know that your ultimate goal is to become a calm and confident parent. But we also know that can be challenging without rest, nutrition, hydration, and complete nonjudgmental understanding; someone you can talk things through with as you find your way.
Calm and confident are the cornerstones of feeling successful when it comes to parenting.

Breastfeeding is known to reduce stress and decrease the risk of postpartum depression but if you’ve already begun trying, you know that in the early days it can be extremely challenging…
We need you to know:
- It’s NOT your fault!
- It’s NOT your baby’s fault!
- Your baby is NOT rejecting you!
You just need a little support; some guidance from an expert who has no bias and a whole lot of brilliance when it comes to feeding an infant.
We can help you, more importantly, we want to! We know how important this is to you and we know the difference our support makes to the clients who hire us.
During a 90 minute infant feeding session, we will:
- Assess your anatomy and your baby’s latch
- Offer gentle positioning guidance
- Trouble-shoot challenges
- Develop strategies for feeding ease
- Discover feeding patterns
- Provide information on milk production
- Discuss difficulties
- Provide emotional support
The bumps on your infant feeding journey may feel like impossible mountains to climb, but keep in mind, you are brand new to this and so is your baby. It is not normally without challenges in the early days or weeks.
Invite us in to support you and the breastfeeding relationship you are building with your sweet baby. Allow our understanding, training, experience and expertise to embrace you as you work toward success.
You are not alone and you deserve this support. Contact Bell House Doulas today, and speak to a compassionate birth professional who wants to help!
