postpartum doula
A postpartum doula is a trained professional who provides support to families after the birth of a baby. Their role includes helping new parents with infant care, offering emotional support, assisting with household tasks, and providing information on breastfeeding and newborn care. They help ease the transition into parenthood, allowing parents to focus on bonding with their baby and recovering from childbirth. Postpartum doulas do not provide medical care but serve as valuable resources for guidance, comfort, and education during the early days and weeks of parenting.
