EVERY FAMILY DESERVES A DOULA

Postpartum Doula

A study done in 2009 showed that postpartum doulas care encompassed eleven domains of support: emotional support, physical comfort, self-care, infant care, information, advocacy, referral, partner/father support, support parents with infant, support parents with sibling care, and household organization. The study found when these eleven domains were part of the postpartum experience that the development of maternal responsiveness and maternal competence with these 3 issues were found: resolution of infant feeding, integrating the infant into the family, and supporting developmental care and attachment.
