What is a Postpartum Doula?
A postpartum doula is a woman who assists the new mother, baby, and the rest of her family within the first few weeks after the birth of the baby. Postpartum doulas should be good with children, patient, non-judgmental, and knowledgeable about newborn care and breastfeeding. The postpartum doula may offer the following:
- Breastfeeding tips
- Baby care and advice
- Household help
- Sibling care
- Meal preparation
- Errand running
- Community Resources Information
They do not offer any form of medical advice regarding either the mother or the baby, nor do they perform any clinical tasks such as blood pressure checks or vaginal exams.
