What is a Postpartum Doula?
A postpartum doula is not a baby nurse. She is an experienced woman who comes to your home and provides educational, emotional, and physical support following the birth or adoption of a new baby. The postpartum doula does not focus solely on the baby, but rather ensures the well-being of the entire family unit.
Having a postpartum doula can reduce the incidence of postpartum depression, increase the rate of successful breastfeeding, and ease the transition from couple to family.
