A postpartum doula’s purpose is to bring about a sense of stability in parents which leads itself to parents feeling they are able to feel fully confident and thrive! They reduce stress and anxiety and build on self-confidence! Doula’s become one of the family and they offer a nonjudgmental approach to understanding each client’s needs.
A postpartum doula provides evidenced-based information on things such as infant feeding, emotional and physical recovery from birth, mother-baby bonding, infant soothing, and basic newborn care. A postpartum doula is there to help a new family in those first days and weeks after bringing home a new baby.
"They utilize their exceptional listening skills and they anticipate that things may change from moment to moment. Doula's reflect back in order to be certain they understand, and they offer constant affirmation which leads to improved levels of confidence."
