What is a Postpartum Doula?
Mothering the mother, Postpartum Doulas provide knowledgeable, nurturing care for the postpartum woman and her newborn. They may instruct on baby care and breastfeeding, cook nutritious meals and run light errands. Studies by Kennel and Klaus showed that doula care improved breastfeeding success, decreased postpartum depression, increased maternal satisfaction and promoted better mother-infant interaction (from: Mothering the Mother, by MH Klaus, JH Kennell and PH Klaus, Addison- Wesley Publishing Company, 1993).
