Welcoming a new baby is magical, but it can also be exhausting and overwhelming.
During those blurry early weeks, having a helping hand makes a world of difference. That’s where Jen comes in! Jen is an experienced postpartum doula with Seattle Birth Doulas, bringing over 17 years of expertise to help new parents thrive.
Picture this: You’re home with your newborn, running on a few hours of sleep, trying to decipher every little cry. It’s completely normal to feel overjoyed and overwhelmed at the same time. That’s exactly when a postpartum doula like Jen can step in to help you breathe easier.
Jen’s support is all about comfort, confidence, and calm.
Here’s what that looks like in real life:
Interpreting Baby’s Cues: Not sure if the baby’s wailing means hunger, a diaper change, or just needing a snuggle? Jen is a pro at reading newborn hunger, sleep, and comfort signals and will help you learn them too. Over time, you’ll feel more confident in understanding what your baby needs.
Hands-On Newborn Care & Parent Rest: Jen can take over baby care while you catch a nap, grab a shower, or enjoy a warm meal. She’ll soothe your little one, handle diaper changes, or even guide you through baby’s first bath. That means you get much-needed rest, knowing your baby is in expert hands.
Feeding Support: Whether you’re breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, or both, Jen offers personalized feeding support. She can help with latch techniques, bottle prep, burping – all the feeding basics – so you feel more at ease and your baby is well-fed.
Light Household Help: Forget about those piling dishes and laundry (at least for a bit). Jen can assist with light housework like laundry, tidying up, and simple meal prep. This way, you can focus on recovery and bonding with your baby instead of stressing over chores.
Emotional Encouragement & Education: Perhaps most importantly, Jen is there as a reassuring presence. She’s someone to talk to about how you’re feeling, celebrate the wins (like that first longer stretch of sleep!), and navigate the challenges. She’ll share tips on newborn development, help normalize what you’re going through, and connect you with additional resources if needed. With Jen by your side, you don’t have to figure everything out alone.
All of this support adds up to a real difference in your postpartum experience. Parents often say that with a doula’s help, they feel more secure, well-rested, and able to enjoy those precious early weeks much more than they would on their own.
The bottom line: you deserve support in this transformative time, and Jen is ready to provide it.
