The Essential Role of a Postpartum Doula
The role of a postpartum doula is to provide physical, emotional, and informational support to families during the postpartum period, which typically extends from birth up to around 12 weeks or longer. Postpartum doulas are trained professionals who offer guidance and assistance in the transition to parenthood, helping families adjust to the demands and joys of having a new baby.
Preparing for Life After Baby:
You're about to become a parent—congrats! You should get ready for life after the kid is born as you do for the birth of your child. Although this can be an exciting and overwhelming time, with a little preparation, you can make the transition less stressful for you and your family.
