Welcome to Baby and the Bee: Postpartum Doula Services
MEET THE BEE
My name is BeLinda, though my niece calls me Aunt Bee. I am a postpartum doula in the greater Pittsburgh area that provides compassionate and trauma-informed support to new parents whether this is baby number one or baby ten.
My job is to center your priorities as a parent and help you navigate those first few weeks at home while you adjust to this new addition to your family.
I work through an inclusive, queer, trans and gender affirming, and anti-racist lens.
What is a Postpartum
Doula?
With a newborn the days are long but the weeks are short. Those first days with a newborn can be beautiful — but they can also be overwhelming and exhausting. A postpartum doula provides support to the person who has just given birth to help ease the transition of the new little life you have. This includes:
Breastfeeding support
Help with the emotional and physical recovery after birth
Light housekeeping so that mom does not feel so overwhelmed
Running errands
Assistance with newborn care such as diapering, bathing, feeding and comforting
Light meal preparation
Baby soothing techniques
Sibling care
Referrals to local resources such as parenting classes, pediatricians, lactation support and support groups
