Their role is to help new parents adjust to their new role, provide education on newborn care and feeding, and assist with household tasks related to the baby's care. They provide non-judgmental, evidence-based support and encouragement to help families feel confident and empowered during this transitional period. Some of the tasks a postpartum doula can help with include cleaning, organizing, cooking, and laundry, so that parents can focus on bonding with their new baby and taking care of themselves.
