Bringing home baby is a big transition for your entire family. Balancing physical recovery from birth with learning how to care for your infant 24/7 can quickly turn into a haze of sleep deprivation, cold coffee, and milk stains. You need rest, nutritious food, a listening ear, and an extra pair of hands to do better than “just survive”.
With a postpartum doula in your home, you can do a little more rocking in the nursery glider and smelling your baby's head, and a little less vacuuming and frantically searching “normal newborn behaviors” on the web.
“My husband jokes he can always tell when it’s been a doula day because our house is cleaner, dinner is ready, and I’m calmer. I know having Jessie...on our team has made a huge difference in making my postpartum experience positive.”

Why All New Moms Need Trained, Professional Support
Having a baby can be isolating! We don't live in a culture where a “tribe” of other parents live nearby to help us through every situation. Many of us do not have family in town – or family who supports our unique parenting philosophy without judgment or bias. Sleep deprivation, postpartum depression and anxiety, and mom-shaming are rampant in our society, and it's not normal or healthy!
Take back postpartum and experience more of the joyful parts and fewer of the frustrating parts. Here are some of the ways our postpartum doulas will make your life easier and more enjoyable:
- Infant care, feeding, and sleep support
- Errands/appointments/shopping: never lug a heavy infant car seat and struggle to navigate feeding in public alone
- Validation of your abilities as a capable parent, with up-to-date guidance if desired
- Emotional and practical support for your family to discover and settle into a new routine that works for everyone
- Household care: stay off your feet during recovery and allow us to prepare food, sweep the floor, address the thank you notes, and put away the baby's laundry
- Never worry "is this normal?" with a walking baby Wikipedia around!
At Doulas of Kentuckiana, we believe in the power of knowledge and community. Our invaluable network of local connections means that if you require a referral for a class, a pediatrician, a mental health professional, or another resource, we can recommend you a trusted professional. You're not doing this alone - we've got your back.
