Postpartum Doula Services



DONA International summarizes the role of a postpartum doula as" experienced in supporting families through their postpartum experience.  Coming into the home following birth, the doula's role is to provide education, non-judgmental support and companionship.  The doula will assist with newborn care and family adjustment, meal preparation and light household tasks.  Postpartum doulas offer evidence based information on infant feeding, emotional and physical recovery from birth, infant soothing an coping skills for new parents."

The goal of a
postpartum doula is to nurture the birthing person and the family as you adjust to parenting a newborn.  With professional support from a postpartum doula, a family can experience success, gain knowledge and become more self-confident with the new baby. 

A postpartum doula who comes into your home for a few weeks following childbirth will help with infant care and can educate parents on infant care skills such as feeding and bathing; she will do night feedings and/or help support the mother in breastfeeding; perform baby related tasks. A postpartum doula will have extensive training in newborn care, nutrition, bottle and breastfeeding and child development.
