Postpartum Doula

---

Postpartum doulas provide families with information and support on infant feeding, emotional and physical recovery from childbirth, infant soothing, and coping skills for new parents. They might also help with light housework, fix a meal, and help incorporate an older child into this new experience.  

A doula typically works with a family within the three months following birth. However, this timeframe is very individual to the family and their needs. Some new parents may want a postpartum doula during that whole three-month period, while others may find it helpful to have them for just a week or two.
