Postpartum Doulas in Wichita
You've just had your baby and you're completely in love. You've kissed her head, counted her toes, and dressed her in her first little outfit. Before you know it, you're headed home from the hospital. Now what? I can't believe they just let us take her home with us! You're healing from the big task of giving birth, all while trying to manage feeding and caring for your precious newborn around the clock. Sometime in the middle of the night, with no nurse or call button in sight, you wish babies came with instruction manuals! Now you can have an expert in all things postpartum by your side, to doula you through this amazing and delicate time. Your postpartum doula specializes in enhancing and supporting your family's unique dynamic and validates your feelings and choices as the parent.
Here are a few of the ways our postpartum doulas will help you THRIVE, not just survive!
Daytime, overnight doula care ("night nurse"), and live-in packages available.
Self-care
It's hard to take care of your loved ones the way you want to if you can't fill your own cup first. Our postpartum doulas will make sure you are nourished, hydrated, showered, and comfortable. We are trained to detect the signs of postpartum depression and other postpartum mood disorders. Plus, we are super fun to talk to and we give the best hugs.
Baby Care
We are trained to provide information and hands-on support for every aspect of parenting your new baby, including breastfeeding, pumping, formula feeding, diapering, sleep, soothing, nursery organization, and so much more. Who needs an instruction manual when you can have a postpartum doula?
Good Night's Sleep
Now you can have your baby, and your sleep too. Our overnight shift doulas will tuck you into bed and let you catch some Zzzs. We can help establish healthy sleep routines for baby, do the night feedings or bring the baby in for breastfeeding when hungry, and the whole household can get the rest you need to really thrive.

Errands
It can be overwhelming to make a trip out of the house with a new baby – especially if the weather is bad or you have multiple children to buckle up. Let your postpartum doula take the stress away by accompanying you to the pediatrician or the store. Order your groceries or dinner online and we'll go pick it up for you.
General Tasks
Don't worry about folding the clothes or washing the bottles or stamping the thank-you notes. We'll help take care of all those little everyday duties so you can rest up and just enjoy being a parent for a while. You'll never have to tell anyone who asks how you are doing, "we're surviving, hanging in there," EVER AGAIN! Call us and let's start creating your perfect postpartum support plan.
Invest in a nurtured, low-stress life with a newborn. You deserve to be well-rested, well-fed, and supported so that you can give your very best to your baby. Contact us to create a postpartum doula plan that fits your needs - with special rates for deluxe packages.
