Professional Postpartum Doula ~ over a Decade of Experience
what is a postpartum Doula
Many families wonder what a postpartum doula is or what the difference is between a postpartum doula and a night nurse, night nanny, sleep coach, night coach or baby nurse.
A postpartum doula instills a sense of stability where new parents can thrive. They reduce stress and anxiety and build on self-confidence and comfortability. They become one with the family and they offer a nonjudgmental approach to understanding each client’s needs. They utilize their exceptional listening skills and they anticipate that things may change from moment to moment. They reflect back in order to be certain they understand, and they offer constant affirmation which leads to improved levels of confidence. ~ ProDoula
A postpartum doula provides evidenced-based information on things such as infant feeding, emotional and physical recovery from birth, mother-baby bonding, infant soothing, and basic newborn care. A postpartum doula is there to help a new family in those first days and weeks after bringing home a new baby.
