| Mother and
Newborn is a Doula service, founded by Elaine Gerber and
Joy Cutty. We specialize in prenatal care, labor support,
and postpartum baby care. Mother and Newborn and their
staff serve Mercer County and the surrounding areas
including parts of Pennsylvania. We are fully trained and
experienced in home and hospital births, postpartum care,
"C" sections, multiple births and work
successfully with clients with postpartum depression.
Baby massage classes and in home safety and baby care
instruction packages are also offered. We have many years of experience with children of all ages from infancy through preschool. Both of us have had our own successful home-based day-care businesses. Several years ago we decided that our strongest interest was in helping mothers with newborns. So, we decided to become Doulas. Our labor Doula training was received through the University of Pennsylvania. Since then we have continued our education with childbirth classes at Capital Health Care in Trenton, New Jersey and at Princeton Medical Center in Princeton, New Jersey. Our continuing education includes lactation classes and ongoing Doula training. Further, we are CPR certified. Mother and Newborn and our staff are available days, nights and weekends. Our company is fully insured. An extensive listing of our references is available covering both professional and client on request. Mother and Newborn Inc. looks forward to serving you. What is a Doula? The word "Doula" comes from the ancient Greeks and is now used to refer to a woman who helps other women. It has been applied to childbirth to refer to "a woman experienced in childbirth who provides continuous physical, emotional, and informational support to the mother before, during and just after childbirth." (Klaus, Kennell, and Klaus, in Mothering the Mother). A postpartum Doula provides care to a family with a newborn baby such as:
A birth Doula recognizes birth as a key life experience that the mother will remember all her life.
The acceptance of Doulas in maternity care is growing rapidly with the recognition of their important contribution to improve physical outcomes and emotional well-being of mothers and infants. |
