FAQs
-
A postpartum doula is a trained professional who supports families during the transition period after childbirth. Their role encompasses offering emotional, physical, and informational support to new parents as they navigate the early days of parenthood. Postpartum doulas assist with newborn care, help establish breastfeeding, provide guidance on infant sleep, and can also assist with light household tasks to create a nurturing environment for the family. By fostering a calm and supportive atmosphere, postpartum doulas empower parents to find their confidence and establish healthy routines, making the adjustment to life with a newborn a little easier.

A midwife is a medical professional who assists primarily with pregnancy and childbirth, performing exams and deliveries in hospitals or at home. A doula, on the other hand, provides emotional and physical support but does not perform medical tasks. In summary, midwives handle medical care, while doulas focus on support, working together for a positive birth experience.
-
A Postpartum Doula offers daytime support to new families, assisting with newborn care, feeding guidance, light household tasks, and emotional support. They help families adjust to the changes and provide resources on infant care and postpartum recovery.
In contrast, an Overnight Postpartum Doula provides similar support at night, focusing on overnight infant care. This role allows parents to rest while the doula handles feeding, diaper changes, and soothing the baby back to sleep.
The main difference lies in the hours of service—daytime versus nighttime—with both supporting families through the postpartum journey.
