After the baby is born there is a new period of adjustment.

Assurance that you are doing things right is a priority.
The doula encourages the mom to trust her natural instincts and develop confidence in her role as a mother.
Having a doula gives new parents freedom to focus on their baby.

These are a few of the many aspects of help the post-partum doula can provide...

Demonstrate and assist in newborn care
Breastfeeding help
Encouragment and support for the father
Sibling care and attention
Household help

With help, mothers have a better chance to rest and recover from the birth and parents can begin the lifelong bond with their baby.

Many of the women that have used doula services are second time moms, invariably they all wish they had a doula for their first birth.
