How To Choose The Right Postpartum And Lactation Services NY For Your Needs

By Sarah Wagner


Having a baby is a miraculous process that brings with it many physical changes. While many women think that their bodies will go back to normal shortly after giving birth this isn't always the case. If you are unsure how you will cope with a new baby you may want to look at hiring someone offering postpartum and lactation services NY. Here is what you need to know about this type of service provider.

Health experts are beginning to talk about the "fourth trimester". The three months following birth a woman may still be struggling to recover from the experience. Her hormones may still be fluctuating and she may be dealing with a lack of sleep. She may also be trying to figure out the nursing process, something which does not come easily to every new mother.

If you speak to a woman who has nursed her baby, chances are she will have experienced difficulties with the problem. A baby that doesn't latch on properly may cause sore nipples and a woman's breasts can become sore and infected. A lactation consultant will help monitor the nursing process, give information on how to improve the way the baby latches and can give a woman tips on how to make the process easier and more comfortable.

Some women feel that they do not need added support because this is not their first child. While this may be true for some, other women will need help managing a new infant while still caring for her other children. A postpartum support worker can help make sure that there is care for the other members of the family while the mother focuses on and bonds with her new infant.

Labor and postpartum doulas are becoming more popular. These are woman who provide emotional and physical support through the birth process and will often stay on to help the new mother recover. They may ensure she is getting enough rest and eating properly so that her body can heal from labor and delivery.

If you are considering hiring someone to provide this support there are a few things that you should consider. One is how long you will want to have the support worker available to help you. Another is how much time you want them spending at your home. This may vary depending on whether you are working with a lactation consultant or a postpartum support worker as each expert has a different role to play.

Many women who want a more natural birth process may already be working with a doula service or a midwife. If this is the case with you it may be easier for you to find potential workers who can support you after your baby has arrived.

You can also speak with women who have recently given birth or who are going to be delivering. Speaking with individuals who run prenatal classes can also be a great idea when you are trying to find potential support workers. Once you have a list of names you can begin speaking with each person in order to find the one who will suit your needs as closely as possible.
