What does a Postpartum Doula do?
A Postpartum Doula does a multitude of things. A postpartum doula provides evidenced-based information on things such as infant feeding, emotional and physical recovery from birth, mother-baby bonding, infant soothing, and basic newborn care. Research shows that moms, dads, and babies have an easier time with this transition if a good support team is in place. A Postpartum Doula is like a parents very own "How To" book.
What is the difference between a Postpartum Doula and a baby nurse?
The postpartum doula’s role is to support everyone in the family, including mom, dad, siblings, and baby. Unlike a baby nurse, whose sole focus is the new baby, the doula is there to support mom through the postpartum period and to help the family as a whole.
