What does a postpartum doula do?
  • Provide care and mentor the mother/parent during the first few weeks/months after the baby is born, supporting emotional and physical recovery from birth in a non-judgmental way
  • Be a companion to the family during the transition into parenthood and nurture family bonding, including providing opportunities for adequate rest and relaxation
  • Provide childcare to siblings and/or care for your baby so you can have individual time with your other children
  • Promote the education of evidence-based information, especially including newborn care (bathing, calming, and sleeping techniques, diapering and babywearing options, etc.)
  • Provide referrals for services and providers that may assist you in your transition into parenthood
  • Listen to birth stories and help parents process their experiences
  • Run errands and perform household organizational tasks including light chores
  • Help organize a daily schedule with providing tools for you to accomplish your goals, including assistance with attending doctors' appointments or other errands with baby
  • Assist with nutritious food options, including light meal preparation
  • Provide lactation support

Note: Doula work only includes basic lactation care. If more extensive help is needed, a separate lactation consultation may be necessary and charged separately. ​

Services not included are driving mom/parent/baby, staying at home alone with the baby, disciplining siblings, and providing medical care/clinical tasks (i.e. temperature, blood pressure, etc.).
