What does Extended Postpartum Doula Care look like?

One of the services offered here at Woman to Woman is Extended Postpartum Doula Care (EPPC).  But what exactly does that mean?

Extended Postpartum Care is a service that is available to all doula clients.  For $20 a month (less than the cost of a doctor visit) or $200 a year (two months free), the doula is available for you to ask questions and get experienced answers.  Is this teething or should I take him to the doctor?  How do I introduce solids?  What can I do for this diaper rash?  Should I be concerned that my daughter isn't rolling/crawling/sitting up/walking yet?  What are parenting options besides spanking and/or time out?  Where else can I turn for support in my community?

Often parents (especially new parents) struggle with the care of an infant through his/her first year.  EPPC seeks to give you a place to turn for information and resources.  You know that your doula has your best interest at heart; she walked you through labor and the immediate postpartum period, giving you information and all of your options to give you an informed choice.  Now let her walk with you for your child's first year as you celebrate milestones, not only for your child but also for you as a parent.
