Post Partum care

At Jamii Birth and Wellness, our postpartum care services include in-person visits with our midwives, breastfeeding support, emotional support, and education on postpartum recovery and infant care.

During our in-person visits, our midwives provide physical exams to ensure that the parent is recovering well from childbirth. We also offer guidance on healing after vaginal or cesarean births, including pain management, wound care, and postpartum bleeding. Our midwives also check for signs of postpartum depression and anxiety, and we offer emotional support and referrals to mental health professionals if necessary.

Breastfeeding support is another essential component of postpartum care. Our midwives provide guidance on latching, positioning, and milk production. We also offer assistance with breastfeeding challenges, such as sore nipples, engorgement, and low milk supply. For parents who choose to bottle-feed, we offer guidance on formula preparation and safe feeding practices.

In addition to physical and breastfeeding support, our midwives provide education on postpartum recovery and infant care. We offer guidance on topics such as postpartum nutrition, exercise, and sleep. We also provide education on infant development, feeding, and sleep patterns, as well as guidance on babywearing and safe sleep practices.

At Jamii Birth and Wellness, we understand that postpartum care extends beyond the first few weeks after childbirth. We offer ongoing support and resources to help our patients transition into their new role as a parent. We offer postpartum support groups, lactation consultations, and referrals to community resources such as parenting classes and support services.
