Reassurance

What is a Postpartum Doula

According to the American Pregnancy Organization, a Postpartum Doula is a non medical professional who provides evidence based information on things such as infant feeding, emotional and physical recovery from birth, parent-baby bonding, and basic newborn care. A Postpartum Doula supports families in the first days and weeks after bringing baby home. 

Why hire a Postpartum Doula?


Research shows that parents and babies have an easy transition if a good support team is in place. Postpartum Doulas are also helpful when:

- You do not have family around to help you

- You are nervous about taking care of your baby during those first weeks and months and want guidance

- You need to get things done around the house

- You are tired and need some rest

- You need a shoulder to lean on when you feel overwhelmed
