Postpartum doulas are trained or experienced in providing postpartum care for the new family. Postpartum doulas offer families evidenced-based information and support on infant feeding, emotional and physical recovery from childbirth, infant soothing, and coping skills for new parents. They may also help with light housework, meal preparation, laundry, breastfeeding, or helping incorporate an older child into the experience while helping parents ease the transition of bringing a new baby home.
