Being a new mom can be overwhelming, even if everything goes smoothly with the labour and delivery.
But many new moms find themselves driving all over the city for followup appointments or seeking help for postpartum issues after the baby arrives — from complicated labour, breastfeeding problems to postpartum depression.
Paige Barlow wants to change that by bringing all that support under one roof.”I noticed there was a big disconnect after parents had their baby with support,” said Barlow, who has worked as a postpartum doula for about seven years. “And it was very difficult for a new mom. They’re often breastfeeding in the car and having to put in multiple locations for multiple appointments.
“So I thought by putting everyone under one roof it would make it more convenient and easier for moms to support their new baby, and families in general.”
Barlow plans to open Moss Postpartum House this spring, and it may be the first postpartum house in the country.
