A postpartum doula provides non-medical support to parents and families after a baby is born. This support helps families adjust to life with a newborn while giving the mother more time to rest and care for herself.

Depending on the agreed services, a postpartum doula may help with:

*Emotional support and a listening ear.
*Practical guidance on diapering, bathing, soothing, and everyday newborn care.
*Support with feeding routines and finding qualified feeding assistance when needed.
*Light meal preparation and household tasks related to postpartum care.
*Helping parents build confidence in caring for their baby.

A postpartum doula respects each family's preferences, traditions, and decisions. Doulas do not diagnose conditions, prescribe treatment, or replace doctors, nurses, or other healthcare professionals.
