Postpartum Support and Care with Doula Services in Seattle

Jen Laird

Doula Description

Those early weeks with a newborn are a whirlwind—so much love, so little sleep, and a whole lot of figuring things out. It’s completely normal to feel both overjoyed and overwhelmed at the same time. As an experienced Postpartum Doula in Seattle, I’m here to make this eventful time smoother, offering guidance, reassurance, and a helping hand when you need it most. Whether it’s getting the hang of feeding (breast or bottle), understanding your baby’s cues, or just making sure you get a little extra rest, I’ve got you. You don’t have to do this alone.

Typical ways I support families

  • Interpreting Baby’s Cues – Learn to recognize your newborn’s hunger, sleep, and comfort signals with confidence.
  • Light Household Support – Laundry, light cleaning, and meal prep so you can focus on rest and recovery.
  • Baby’s First Baths – Guidance to help you feel comfortable bathing your little one.
  • Newborn Development – Understanding what’s normal and what to expect in those early weeks.
  • Bonding & Connection – Encouragement and reassurance as you build a strong connection with your baby.
  • Hands-on Baby Care – I’ll care for your baby while you take time to shower, eat, or rest.
  • Sleep Support – Guidance on newborn sleep rhythms and helping you get the rest you need. I’m here to make this transition smoother, offering the care and support you need so you can focus on soaking up these precious moments with your baby. 💕

I provide trauma-informed, evidence-based support tailored to your family's unique needs. With specialized training in perinatal mood challenges, birth processing, and connecting families to additional resources, I create a compassionate and supportive space. My goal is to help you not just navigate the early postpartum period but to truly thrive—finding confidence, balance, and joy in this transformative time.

I believe that support during the 4th trimester—those first 12 weeks of parenthood—is key to building your confidence as a new parent. There’s no such thing as perfect parenting, but my goal is to help you understand your baby’s cues, find moments of rest, and create a sense of calm in your home. As a Seattle-based doula with over 17 years of experience, I’m committed to providing the expert postpartum care and reassurance you deserve during this transformative time.
