"A baby will make love stronger,
days shorter, nights longer,
bankroll smaller, home happier,
clothes shabbier, the past forgotten,
and the future worth living for"

Postpartum Doula
A postpartum doula is an experienced and trained person who provides support to the mother and her family in the first 12 weeks after birth. She offers education, companionship and nonjudgmental support. In addition, she can provide breastfeeding support, newborn care tips, infant soothing, siblings support, and help with light household tasks, including meal preparation, dishes, baby laundry and grocery shopping. Further, she can offer evidence-based information on topics such as infant feeding and emotional and physical recovery from birth. The goal is for parents to become empowered and encouraged to find their own way to thrive in their new life with their new baby with a positive experience.
The postpartum support by doula can reduce the risk of postpartum depression and the probability of a mother giving up breastfeeding due to frustration and exhaustion.
