While they lack the maternity knowledge that postpartum doulas offer, they can assure we are safe, offer all the household
tasks of a postpartum doula, and have the resources available to us if I am struggling more than appropriate.
As a
postpartum doula, my role is to come alongside you in the hospital after the birth or in your home, to support you as parents so you can nurture your newborn, to allow you much needed sleep by helping in practical ways, to teach you skills so you can grow in confidence in your role and to encourage you in this beautiful and important
task you are undertaking as the parents
of a precious individual!
