What is a Postpartum Doula?

A postpartum doula is an experienced woman who comes to the home of a new mom and provides educational, emotional, and physical support in the weeks and months following birth. This allows the new mom to rest, bond with her new baby, and smoothly transition into her new role. We offer:

  • Breastfeeding support
  • Instruction in newborn care
  • Meal preparation
  • Light housekeeping & laundry
  • Errands
  • Newborn & sibling care
  • Emotional support
  • Information & referrals

The presence of a postpartum doula can:

  • Speed recovery from birth
  • Reduce the incidence of postpartum depression
  • Increase the rate of successful breastfeeding

Why should I hire a postpartum doula?

The postpartum period is a time of recovery and transition for the new mom. Surrounding her with emotional support, attending to her physical needs, and caring for her home and family allows her time and space to rest and recover from the birth, learn to feed her new baby, and smoothly transition into her new role.[/su_note][/su_column][/su_row]
