Postpartum care is always tailored to your family's needs, and may include:
- Respite care so that you can shower, sleep and take a well-deserved break
- Emotional support as you transition into parenthood
- Comfort measures for the recovering postpartum body
- Guidance on infant care and behaviour, including feeding, soothing and sleep
- Sibling support (including on-call childcare while you are birthing another child)
- Meal preparation
- Light housework and laundry
- Referrals to other community resources and care providers
- When hired before your baby arrives, a prenatal meeting at about 37 weeks to meet you and your family, get to know your home and needs, and provide education on the postpartum period.
