What is the difference between a Postpartum Doula, a baby nurse and a nanny?
A Postpartum Doula is a non-medical profession. A Postpartum Doula specializes in the care of you, the mother, the household and siblings; offering help with the baby when needed. A Postpartum Doulas focus is to care for the family as a whole, newborn care, mom support, light household upkeep, education for mom and dad, breastfeeding support as well as sibling support. A nanny normally cares for babies, and children exclusively. A baby nurse has medical training, also caring exclusively for the baby rather than both the mother and baby.
