What are the benefits of postpartum doula care?
A postpartum doula’s job is to impart knowledge to you in a non-judgmental way. A postpartum doula can: • Increase breastfeeding understanding and success. • Build your confidence in your parenting skills. • Answer questions and listen to your concerns about your baby. • Provide referrals, when and if necessary. • Offer emotional support. • Reduce feelings of isolation thereby cutting down on the potential for postpartum depression. Won’t we be uncomfortable having a stranger in our home? Clients who work with a postpartum doula report feeling cared for, nurtured in their new role, reassured and grateful for the calm, professional and unobtrusive support of a postpartum doula.
