Be sure to let Paula know during your intake call that you're looking for a Postpartum Doula with prior experience in helping families introduce family pets to newborns!

Winter is here 🐺 and it's important to keep your newborns nice and snug!

You'll want to prevent dry skin, try to give bathes only ever 3 days and afterwards, pat dry your baby, and apply a fragrance-free moisturizer all over. Know that goopy, ointment-like moisturizers do a way better job locking in moisture than creams. Reapply often!

Toast is simple but satisfying—especially when topped with peanut butter (or your favorite nut butter). It makes for a minimally fussy breakfast or snack that will give you sustained energy throughout the day. Nutbutter toast is a very simple snack your doula can make for you.

"After experiencing PP depression and anxiety with our first child through the pandemic, I knew I needed more support after the birth of our 2nd baby. I chose Ilima to be my postpartum doula and she provided critical emotional support for me and extra trusted hands during the first 6 months of Baby #2’s life. Ilima always asked how I (birther) was doing first. She listens, is proactive, and amazing at staying calm amidst the many demands of our household (baby cries, toddler, etc). I so appreciated her approach to baby care (attentive & playful), meal prep support, endless laundry help, and most importantly her physical presence and non-judgemental approach as we navigated being a new family of 4. What a birther goes through is understood by few, but Ilima brings the next level of empathy. She gets it!!"⁠

Soup and veggies are a great way to nourish yourself after baby arrives! It's amazing soup weather right now so if you have the ingredients and recipe on hand, your doula will most likely be open to preparing a lovely soup for you!

Protein and iron-rich foods are also important staples in a postpartum diet. Your postpartum doula will be a great resource for preparing you snacks and meals that incorporate protein and iron.

Protein is essential for the healing and repair of tissues. It can be found in things like beans, tofu, nuts, and a range of other common foods.

Iron helps transport oxygen in the blood and is essential for energy production. During pregnancy and breastfeeding, iron needs increase. Good sources of iron include dark leafy greens, legumes, nuts, and seeds.

Having a postpartum doula means you have someone who can make you snacks and light meals after baby arrives! While water is not a food, it is probably the most important postpartum recovery item you'll need to maintain your nutrition. Your postpartum doula can be in charge of keeping your water bottle(s) filled during their shift.
