Transitions Birth Doulas

After the birth...

Breastfeeding initiation and support
Immediately after giving birth and at the postpartum visit or by phone if needed, your doula will provide breastfeeding support and assistance. We also have a referral network of lactation consultants and postpartum doulas should you desire those services.
Postpartum visit with birth story and photos

Back at your home a week or two after your birth, we will admire your new family and the amazing journey you went through. Questions will be answered and any lapses in your memory can be refreshed. Your doula will provide you with the birth story she wrote journaling your birth and how your labor unfolded. Any pictures taken will be given to you at this time.
