POST NATAL SUPPORT SERVICES

We recognise that all families are unique and it is our aim to tailor our services to your needs with this in mind our initial visit will focus on how best we can help you and your family. It is also important for you to meet with your Doula and ensure you get on well together as those first few weeks are very precious.

Our ultimate aim being to assist you in recuperating and bonding with your baby

As Your Post Natal Doula we will:

Be non-judgemental and supportive of your choices as you nurture your new baby.
Respect your privacy.
Aim to establish good relationships with your wider family members and health care professionals.
Assist you as you develop your own parenting style.
Offer emotional support particularly with regard to talking through the birth of your baby.
Help and support with feeding your baby either breast or formula.
Care for your new born while you rest and sleep.
Baby care, such as how to bath your baby or prepare the nursery.
New baby concerns for example feeding, crying sleeping.
Carry out other practical tasks such as food preparation and cooking, light housework running errands etc.

WHEN TO BOOK

There is no set time really, however it is a good idea to contact us as early as possible to avoid disappointment on the other hand we have been able to help families who have already had their babies- so it is never too late to call.

Although We operate on a first come first served basis we will always do our best to help all the families who contact us, but please bear in mind that we do have to limit the number of families we have in order to be able to ensure a high standard of quality and flexibility

BABYSITTING SERVICE

Being mothers ourselves we appreciate that there are times when you need to go out without your precious bundle and we know what a worry it can be finding the right person to care for your baby even for a few hours, so at the request of many of our clients we now offer a babysitting service, which gives you the peace of mind that not only is an experienced mother caring for your children but she has been CRB checked as well.

NIGHT NANNY SERVICE

At Confident mother we know how difficult it can be to get a good night’s sleep in those first few months. And as above at the request of clients we are now able to offer a Night Nanny service we come from 10pm until 7am and allow you to get a good night’s rest whilst your night Nanny cares for your baby..

We cover the feeds, the changing and settling of your baby during the night hours.

If you are breast-feeding we can bring the baby to you to feed or give the baby a bottle of your expressed milk.

The Night Nanny then returns to their room with the baby and change, wind, and settle the baby so that you are disturbed as little as possible.

SLEEP AND FEEDING CONSULTATION

It may be that you don’t require the full services of a post Natal Doula but would like a bit more support than your health care professional is able to provide. In which case Yvonne can come and see you in your own home and provide a one off consultation which takes between 2 to 3 hours with telephone or email follow up (please read how some Mums have found this service on the testimonials page)

REST AND RECUPERATE PACKAGES

As mentioned previously you may not require a full time post natal Doula, but need to rest for a few days or just need a few days support whilst your partner is away then the rest and recuperation packages are ideal for your situation.

A 24 Hour package which is 1 day and 1 night cost £375

A 48 Hour package which is 2 days and 2 nights cost £675

The Doula would do everything as outlined on the Post Natal Support Service, with main emphasis being on allowing you to sleep and rest as much as possible
