What is a postpartum doula and what services will she provide?
A postpartum doula is specially trained to provide practical and emotional support to new mothers.  Unlike a baby nurse, a doula is not uniquely focused on the baby, but on nurturing the mother and making sure that she is well cared for - rested, fed, hydrated and comfortable.  A doula will help the mother care for her baby, often providing breastfeeding guidance, newborn feeding and bathing, and general household support   A large part of a doula’s role is to educate and encourage the entire family during this time of major transition.  She will share information about infant care and parenting, and teach siblings and partners how best to “mother the mother”.
