YOUR PARTNER IN

Postpartum Support

Congratulations on the newest addition to your family! As a postpartum doula, I am thrilled to extend a warm welcome and offer unwavering support during this beautiful phase of your life. My mission is to create a comforting and nurturing environment, providing you with the guidance, care, and encouragement you need as you navigate the early days of parenthood.

Welcoming a newborn into your life brings immense joy and a whirlwind of emotions. I am here to walk alongside you, offering personalized care tailored to your unique needs. Whether it's lending a compassionate ear, offering hands-on assistance with feeding, or providing guidance on newborn care, my goal is to empower you, fostering confidence and ensuring a smooth transition into parenthood.

WHAT IS

Postpartum Doula Support?

✨EMOTIONAL &

PHYSICAL SUPPORT✨

By providing a listening ear and a compassionate presence, doulas offer emotional support, fostering a safe space for parents to express their feelings, concerns, and triumphs. Additionally, through light household chores, nutritious meal preparation, and guidance on self-care, postpartum doulas ease the burden on new parents, ensuring they can focus on bonding with their newborn and their own recovery.

✨BREASTFEEDING & NEWBORN CARE ASSISTANCE✨

Doulas offer invaluable assistance by providing hands-on guidance with breastfeeding positions, latch techniques, and troubleshooting common challenges. Beyond breastfeeding, doulas share their expertise in newborn care, offering insights into diapering, soothing techniques, and understanding infant cues, empowering parents with the knowledge and confidence to care for their little one.

✨FAMILY Education & Guidance✨

A cornerstone of postpartum support is offering evidence-based information and guidance, aiding parents in navigating the sometimes daunting post-birth phase. Doulas share valuable resources and information on self-care practices, physical recovery after birth, and navigating the emotional journey of parenthood. Through education and compassionate guidance, doulas empower new parents, helping them feel confident and prepared.

She not only cared for the baby, but she took care of me in the way that she would allow for my self care needs to be completed during her shift, and she wouldn't leave at night until I was fed and showered myself!

hi, i'm the doula.

My name is Jess Alexander, and I'm a Certified Postpartum Doula working in both Wilmington, NC and Pittsburgh, PA and the surrounding areas. I feel strongly about helping new parents and families navigate the postpartum period and adjustment to parenthood with confidence, education, and joy while minimizing the overwhelming moments!

My journey began in 2013 with the birth of my first daughter (of two). It was through my own struggles with breastfeeding, and postpartum mood disorders, and sorting through the pages of often conflicting and overwhelming information that I became passionate about helping other moms. I saw how real the need is for practical and compassionate and *evidence-based* support in the weeks after giving birth, and how big of a difference that support makes. Since then, I’ve completed thousands of hours of training and earned numerous credentials (more about that later).

When I'm not talking about new babies or helping my clients master the perfect swaddle, you can find me hanging out with my family (above mentioned sassy daughters 👯‍♀️ + my sweet husband ❤️), walking my weird ass husky through the forest, or snuggled up on my couch with a blanket watching a good documentary.

a visit with your postpartum doula...

Your doula arrives for a visit during a morning when you find yourself alone with your three-week-old baby. It's 11 am, but you've yet to grab breakfast due to your fussy little one. Your doula swiftly prepares a snack and a fresh cup of coffee while you complete your baby's feed.

Your doula holds your baby while you finally eat a hot meal. As you’re eating, she checks in with you about how you’re feeling, answers your questions about your baby, and provides a much-needed adult conversation.

Once your baby is content, your doula skillfully demonstrates the art of the perfect swaddle. Afterward, she refreshes your bed, allowing you to settle in for a well-deserved nap. There's an unparalleled sense of comfort with clean sheets and the sight of your peacefully slumbering baby under the care of someone you trust.

While you rest, your doula prioritizes caring for your baby. Once settled, she swiftly organizes your kitchen, folds the laundry, and prepares your evening meal—knowing that these tasks might slip by in the busyness of the day.

After your nap, your doula assists you with another feeding, offering helpful tips for a smoother experience. As you nurture your baby, conversations with your doula flow—addressing concerns about transitioning for your older children and supporting your own adjustment.

As the visit concludes, your doula exits quietly, even managing to take out the recycling. She reassures you of a morning check-in via text tomorrow. You feel a sense of relaxation and assurance, knowing that amidst caring for your new addition, someone is dedicated to caring for you too!
