Postnatal Support

Around 3 to 4 days after your baby is born, we’ll visit you to offer gentle, reassuring support during this important transition.

  • Breastfeeding guidance – Whether things are going smoothly or you need a little help, we’ll be there to offer practical support and reassurance, helping you feel comfortable and confident.

  • A safe space to debrief your birth – Talking through your experience is incredibly important, and we’re here to listen without judgment. Reflecting on your birth can help with emotional healing and may even reduce the risk of postnatal depression.

  • Signposting to trusted professionals – If extra support is needed, we’ll connect you with expert tongue-tie assessors, IBCLC lactation consultants, cranial osteopaths, and women’s health physiotherapists, ensuring you have the best care available.

This visit is about nurturing you, making sure you feel heard, supported, and well-equipped for this next stage of your journey. You don’t have to do it alone—we’re here for you.

Feeding Support

Feeding your baby—whether breast, bottle, or a combination of both—can come with unexpected challenges, and we’re here to support you every step of the way. We offer gentle, practical guidance to help you feel confident in your choices, ensuring feeding is as smooth and stress-free as possible. From positioning and latch to bottle-feeding techniques and overcoming common hurdles, we provide reassurance, evidence-based advice, and hands-on support to help you find what works best for you and your baby. However feeding unfolds, we’ll be by your side, making sure you feel empowered, informed, and fully supported.

signposting

While we stay up to date with the latest information and can offer plenty of guidance, there are times when specialist support is needed. We know how overwhelming it can be to navigate these challenges alone, especially in the early days. That’s why we have a trusted network of professionals—from IBCLC lactation consultants and tongue-tie assessors to cranial osteopaths and women’s health physiotherapists—who have been personally recommended by families we've supported. We don’t want you frantically Googling “IBCLC near me” at 2am—instead, we’ll connect you with the right experts, giving you peace of mind that you’re in safe hands.

Birth debrief

Your birth experience matters, and taking the time to reflect on it can be incredibly valuable. That’s why we offer a gentle, supportive birth debrief, giving you the space to talk through what happened, how you felt, and any emotions that may have surfaced. Whether your birth was empowering, challenging, or a mix of both, we’re here to listen without judgment and help you process it in a way that feels right for you. Studies show that talking about your birth can reduce the risk of postnatal depression and support emotional healing. This isn’t just about looking back—it’s about helping you move forward with clarity, confidence, and peace of mind.

Ongoing postnatal support

At The Doula Hub, we truly believe that birth support and postnatal support are two distinct skill sets that require different expertise. While Leti and I are fully dedicated to supporting you throughout your birth experience, we don’t provide ongoing postnatal or overnight postnatal support ourselves.

However, we are proud to have a dedicated team of highly experienced postnatal and night doulas that we work closely with as part of our extended network. These doulas specialize in the care and support needed after your baby arrives, helping you navigate the early days of parenthood with confidence.

We are more than happy to assist you in finding the perfect postnatal doula to support your onward journey. Whether you’re looking for someone to help with overnight care, breastfeeding support, or simply providing a comforting presence during those early weeks, we will connect you with a trusted professional who is the right fit for your needs.

A number of them can be found on our associates page
