Nurturing New Families by Naomi Kemeny
Supporting a family in the days and weeks after a baby is born is a precious gift indeed - as the mother recovers her strength and responds to her baby's needs, the care of a postnatal doula, friend or family member can be invaluable. In this guide to warm, mother- and- baby-centred postnatal care, Naomi Kemeny draws on her wealth of experience as a midwife, children's nurse and postnatal doula to explain in detail how to 'mother the mother' - by listening to what she needs and supporting her as she adapts to her new role. This insightful book is both a useful guide to the work of a postnatal doula, and a must-read for anyone wanting to help a new family cope with those intense yet magical early days with a newborn.Naomi Kemeny trained as a midwife and postnatal doula. She is also an assessor and mentor for trainee postnatal doulas and teaches antenatal courses to parents expecting multiples for TAMBA (the Twin and Multiple Birth Association). Her passion is supporting women and their families during the postnatal period. She strongly believes that early nurturing support can have a hugely positive impact on parents' satisfaction and fulfilment, as well as bringing numerous benefits to the baby. She is married and has three children and three grandchildren.
