A Postpartum Doula also provides unbiased educated and evidence information so the mother can make an informed decision on what is in the best interest of herself and her baby. A Postpartum Doula can help to facilitate communication between the mother and her care provider and work as an advocate. They look after the newborn so that mom/parents can rest, replenish and recharge knowing that their bundle of joy is safe and cared for.  Research shows that moms, dads, and babies have an easier time with this transition if a good support team is in place.
