What types of support can a postnatal doula provide?
If my client wishes to breastfeed I will support this at every stage of our journey together. I can provide information about how choices made in the antenatal period and for the upcoming labour and birth can best support the breastfeeding relationship. Postnatally, I can support you through the normal course of breastfeeding and work with you to resolve any issues that come up.
I am a breastfeeding mother myself and an accredited La Leche League Leader. I volunteer for this organisation in my spare time: facilitating meetings for breastfeeding mothers and helping one-to-one and over the phone with questions about all aspects of breastfeeding.
Below are a couple of articles I have written for Visit From The Stork magazine about the topic of breastfeeding. My priority is support without judgement and helping each family to find a feeding relationship that works for them.
