Welcome Page About Doulas Meet our Team Services Offered Hours and Rates Client Comments Resource Links Doula Trainings Contact Us	About Postpartum Doulas A postpartum doula is a woman trained to give in-home care to mothers with newborn babies. Many new mothers find that the challenges of having a newborn are more than they anticipated and they appreciate some extra help. While a postpartum doula specializes in newborn care, her ultimate goal is not only to care for the baby, but to help the new mother to mother her baby more effectively. A postpartum doula will usually come in right after the return home from the hospital stay and provide care for the mother, baby and household during the “settling in” time. Sometimes a postpartum doula will come after the new father returns to work and the mother is left alone with her baby for the first few weeks. Ultimately it is the needs of the new mother that will determine what type of postpartum assistance is needed and for how long, and we will be flexible to your needs.
