A postpartum doula's role is fluid. From family to family, day-to-day, even hour-to-hour, her role is constantly changing. She is a teacher and a source of information and will provide reliable, evidenced-based information on infant feeding and care, as well as integrating a baby into the family. She offers practical support with meal preparation and household organization. The postpartum doula also has a thorough knowledge of services, products andcandiammerman@yahoo.comcandiammerman@yahoo.com professionals available in her community and offers quality, reliable referrals when they are needed. At all times the doula provides reassurance, support and the belief that these parents can and will be successful in nurturing their family. Her support and information extend to all family members equally in her role of "Nurturing the Family". Postpartum Support International Website http://www.postpartum.net |
