| What is a doula? |
|
A doula is defined as one who serves; a postpartum doula is someone who serves a family when welcoming a newborn into their lives. An amazing time of life to be sure! Whether giving birth or adopting every family welcoming a newborn benefits from non-judgmental support and encouragement during the early weeks after bringing a new baby or babies home. When the majority of household tasks are left to others and families can find their own parenting style without pressure, they are much better able to cope during the potentially stressful early weeks. When family and friends aren't able to fulfill this role, a postpartum doula will. Whether you are welcoming your first baby or your fourth, hiring a postpartum doula ensures that a new family can get to know each other in an environment that is peaceful and supportive. |
