Postpartum Doula Services
Postpartum care is aimed at mothering the new mother and embracing the new or expanded family with caring assistance and encouragement. Education, emotional support, infant feeding help, baby care, and practical help around the home are all part of the doula experience. The Postpartum Doula’s job is to make the transition to parenthood easier for new parents, to help the birthing parent during their recovery period, and to observe the family's needs and provide the necessary instruction and support.
