About Postpartum Doulas

A postpartum doula is a woman trained to give in-home care to mothers with newborns. Many mothers discover that the challenges they face once they bring their newborn(s) home are more than they anticipated. Current research has shown that women who are nurtured during their early postpartum days, allowed to rest and bond with their infants, and taught the basics of newborn care experience:

  • More success with breastfeeding
  • Better postpartum adjustment
  • Less postpartum depression
  • More overall confidence in their parenting

While a postpartum doula specializes in newborn care, her ultimate goal is not just to care for the baby but to nurture the new mother and help her to mother her baby more effectively. While each new mothers postpartum needs are different, to see some of the most common ways a postpartum doula will serve a new mother see Services Offered.
