Breastfeeding Support
Breastfeeding is a mother’s first challenge after giving
birth. Providing adequate support and encouragement through the critical
first weeks is vitally important to building a successful bond. Consider
MotherTree doulas to be part of the professional support that can help
bridge the gap from birth site to home. We provide home consultations,
phone support and resources. Yes, we look forward to that 4 am call because
we know it’s important!
Breastfeeding Your Baby
Breastfeeding is a hands-on art, thus the desire and need for hands-on
support as you and your baby gain the skills you need for breastfeeding
success. Our doulas can provide you with the resources and support you
need to help a smooth transition into one of the most rewarding and challenging
experiences you and your baby will share.
For many years breastfeeding fell out of favor. For that reason today’s
generation of mothers may have difficulty finding guidance from women
experienced in breastfeeding. Fortunately, La Leche League and other organizations
and individuals, such as doulas, midwives and Lactation Consultants have
assisted in reviving the natural art of breastfeeding.

“Breastfeeding
your baby is a way of communicating intimately with another human being.
It is an expression of loving. The free and generous flow of milk does
not come from mental concentration. It comes instead from something that
can best be described in a French phrase, which translated means “being
happy in your own skin.” –Sheila Kitzinger
