It is not safe to have a very small, fragile, premature baby
sleeping next to a
parent in a western bed, but very important to have them
sleeping alongside the bed on a different surface.
As a postpartum doula, my role is to come
alongside you in the hospital after the birth or in your home, to support you as
parents so you can nurture your newborn, to allow you much needed
sleep by helping in practical ways, to teach you skills so you can grow in confidence in your role and to encourage you in this beautiful and important task you are undertaking as the
parents of a precious individual!
