Infant care in Maple Ridge

What Doula Infant Care Looks Like

As a doula, I provide specialized support to families during the postpartum period, focusing on the health, safety, and development of the baby while also attending to the emotional and physical needs of the parents.

My responsibilities include:

  • Assisting with feeding (breastfeeding or formula),
  • Establishing sleep routines,
  • Ensuring proper diapering and hygiene.

I also help with baby-proofing the home and offer guidance on safe sleep practices. Beyond these practical tasks, I foster bonding between parents and baby through activities that promote cognitive and motor skills, and provide emotional support and reassurance to new parents.
