Postnatal Support - The Family Naturopath

Postnatal Support

Calm Connections

You are home with your baby!

The most magical time in the world. All the waiting (and worrying) is over and a whole new chapter begins.

Googling things at 2am when you are feeding your baby and it feels like no one else is awake. And yes, it is that normal to google ‘newborn poo’ that many times in the first week! When something with their routine changes and you don’t know what or why. When breastfeeding isn’t going the way you thought it would. And you don’t know what to do. And you get given unwanted, unasked for advice by everyone you meet and know. Which makes you question everything that you have been doing and want to do. And you don’t know what to do. And then you find me!

I am here to take as much of your worry away as possible and to help you feel calm and connected to your baby. My bliss in a newborn as I understand how they work and my passion is to help you understand that too. So you can enjoy every moment a much as possible and not panic about it all. I’m not a traditional postnatal doula in that I don’t offer light housework or going to the shops for you. What I do is give you useful support and advice in newborn sleep and routine, breastfeeding support, healing and recovering advice for you, baby massage and reflexology to support your baby’s development, supplement suggestions and more. I’m also there to listen to you and really hear you.

Calm Connections – Settling In £1,980

PURCHASE PACKAGE

My focus with this package is to help you during the first 6 weeks which can be the most worrying for new parents. My aim it to calm and reassure you and teach you about how your baby sees the world so you realise that everything they do, is normal and what a newborn should be doing! We are sold a lie so we buy all sorts of things for our children and expect babies to behave, well, like adults. And they don’t.

This is a 15 hour package made up of a pregnancy planning session and 6 weekly home visits (postcode depending) to help you adjust to being new parents. Even if this isn’t your first baby, they are each unique and how things went with one is often very different to the next!

The first session (2 hours) ideally happens in your third trimester face to face or on zoom to get an understanding of you and how you want to parent. Of course if you don’t know, that’s not a problem in the slightest! I will ask you about where you think your baby will sleep, breastfeeding aims, who will be around to help you (if anyone), how supported your feel by your midwifery team and more.

The sorts of things I will help you with, as every family is unique are:

Being a listening ear for you to talk about anything you want to
Breastfeeding support
Baby massage & reflexology
Massage & reflexology for you
Recovery and healing advice (nutritional therapy and more)
About the newborn brain
Newborn sleep
