Professional Postpartum Doula
Does this sound like what you want to do?
The Postpartum Doula fills an important role in today's family culture. The Postpartum Doula’s job is to make the transition to parenthood easier for new parents, to help the birth parent during their recovery period, to ascertain what the family needs help with and provide the instruction and support in order that the family has the skills to care for themselves and the newborn even when the doula is not there.
Statistics show that families who have support during the postpartum period tend to have lower rates of postpartum mood disorders, breastfeed for a longer duration, have deeper bonds with the baby and their partner, and make a better adjustment to parenthood. This unique opportunity will give you the education and skills necessary to support families through their transition.
If the postpartum doula's first name is "Nurture", their middle name is "Empowerment". As the doula cares for the family so they can rest, she also builds their confidence in caring for their baby.
