Tranquil
Seasons Doulas can:
- Assist
you with your day-to-day household tasks (ie.
cooking & light house work)
- Newborn care: comforting, bathing , feeding,
massage and holding techniques
- Ideas to help you and your newborn have a restful
night
- Breastfeeding support and educationTechniques
to entertain and stimulate your baby
- Emotional support
We
recognize this service is essential for parents
who don’t have any family or other support
nearby. Mothers in North America are often not
given the time to rest and recuperate after the
birth. This lack of support can interfere with
bonding and breastfeeding; and is particularly
difficult for mothers with post partum depression.
This can also create stress for the whole family.
A doula’s role is to eliminate unnecessary
stress and help create an environment of confidence,
happiness and bonding between father, siblings,
mother and their newborn.
