This is a great conversation starter about de-stigmatizing the use of postpartum doulas as a “privilege” instead of speaking up to ensure that new mothers/child-bearers get much needed sleep to heal physically and mentally. Think about the oxygen masks on an airplane along the same lines, you take care of yourself first to be able to help others.

The goal of a doula is to create peace in chaos by helping families through a time that they can never go back to with the baby.

Postpartum doulas provide:
Non-medical support, help the child-bearer find their inner voice
Companionship
Feeding support
Resources and referrals (IBCLC, dog walker, support groups etc)
Evidence-based information

Postpartum doulas assist:
Meal prep
Adjustments with sibling(s), 2-legged and 4-legged
Newborn care
Household organization (grocery shop, dishes, laundry)
Emotional and Physical adjustments after birth
Promoting confidence, skills, and self-determination

Postpartum doulas:
DO NOT replace partners, sisters, grandparents etc
ARE NOT housekeepers
ARE NOT nannies, au pairs, or wet nurses, but we work with siblings of all ages
DO NOT decriminate against anyone
