Postpartum Care for Moms and Babies

Helping New Mothers and Growing Families

There is almost nothing more magical than bringing home your newborn baby. They are finally here, and it’s time to adjust to life with your new addition. Whether or not you’re a first-time parent, you don’t have to feel overwhelmed during this transition.

Homewatch CareGivers offers compassionate and professional caregivers who can support a home environment conducive to a thriving family. Highly trained postpartum care professionals provide help for your most essential needs, allowing you to form a strong bond with your newborn and get the rest you require. Postpartum caregivers have childcare experience and must pass a national background check, so you know you are getting the quality support you need.

We believe that having a caring, supportive, and knowledgeable professional in your home can positively impact postpartum recovery and reduce any interruptions while you strengthen the parent-child bond. This can be a rewarding, yet stressful time. Having a reliable extra set of hands can make all the difference. 
 

Postpartum Care Services

Our postpartum care team takes pride in offering a wide range of services to help mom and baby recover. Meanwhile, we also support the whole family’s comfort and bonding time. Some of the postpartum home care tasks and responsibilities we can help with include:

• Post-operative C-section care: Finding comfort after a C-section or any major surgery can be challenging. Our compassionate C-section care can include support with positioning in the bed, lifting, bending, walking, and help in the bathroom to prevent strain on the incision site. We will ensure your space is as comfortable as possible so you can establish essential bonding and feeding habits with your newborn.
• Light housekeeping: Having a clean space to welcome a new baby creates a calm and safe environment for the entire family. Postpartum caregivers can assist with light housekeeping tasks, including tidying up clutter, dusting surfaces, vacuuming, and sweeping.
• Laundry: Caregivers can help lighten the load, ensuring your growing family has clean clothes and linens.
• Cooking: You need healthy, nutritious meals to maintain your strength so you can care for your new baby. We can perform meal planning and preparation, and we can accommodate most specialized diets. We can also prepare bottles for your baby.
• Caring for other children: While your newborn may be your immediate focus, other children in the home will still need care. Caregivers can tend to multiple children and offer in-home childcare servicesonce maternity or paternity leave ends.
• Infant care: We know access to nearby respite care is vital so you can catch up on much-needed rest while still having the peace of mind that your infant is safe, healthy, and happy. We can change your infant’s diapers, feed them bottles, and watch them as they sleep for added assurance. Plus, if you are recovering from surgery, we can pick them up and bring them right to you to mitigate pain.
• Companionship: When family and friends cannot visit safely during this time, companionship is vital to your mental and emotional health. Our caregivers will:
  • Provide conversation and a listening ear.
  • Help ease any fears of being a new parent or being alone with a newborn.
  • Assist with positioning for breastfeeding or bottle-feeding.
  • Offer an extra set of hands to provide you with important items for added comfort.

Postpartum caregivers can help put you at ease and let you know you are not alone. If you are experiencing the “baby blues” or postpartum depression, we can provide experienced care and a companion to lean on and help you through a difficult time.
