Postpartum Placement
When hiring a postpartum caregiver, most couples don’t know where to begin. Thankfully, there are many postpartum Doulas to choose from. But sometimes, the choosing can become overwhelming with so many options and personalities to navigate. Finding the right fit for you and your family isn’t a task that you need to take on alone. Understanding what Mom needs is something that we pride ourselves in at Delighted to Doula. No two moms are created equal, and no two Doulas are either. With our experience working with new moms, we think that we can help you find the perfect fit. All our Postpartum Doulas are CPR/First Aid certified and specifically trained to help and educate in in the areas of diapering, cord care, bathing, reading baby’s cues, breastfeeding, and establishing healthy sleep habits with infants.
Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have.
Cost
Postpartum Doula rates generally range from $20-$30/hour for singletons and $25-$40/hour for multiples depending on the caregiver. Schedule your initial consultation today to see what works best for you and your family!
