The Role of a Doula during postpartum support is to help with educational information surrounding life with a new baby, newborn care, postpartum recovery and offer professional guidance as well as physical and emotional support for the family. Please ask as many questions as possible to make sure the doula is the right fit for your family. Postpartum is a very important part of the birth process and it is important to have extra hands helping during the closing of one chapter and the beginning of a whole new one. The phrase “it takes a village” rings true with wisdom.
