What is a Postpartum Doula?

“The Postpartum Doula cares for the birthing parent and their family in their home in the first few weeks following birth. The doula provides non-medical support and companionship, assists with newborn care and sibling adjustment, meal preparation, and household organization. The doula offers evidence-based information on newborn feeding, emotional and physical recovery from childbirth, and other issues related to the postpartum period and can make referrals if necessary.” - Kathrin Auger
