10 - So you don’t feel judged while you learn to care for your newborn. A doula offers judgment free support allowing you to develop your “inner-momma” peacefully, smoothly and at your own pace.
9 - So you can let your guard down and explore your parenting options. Your doula will discuss various parenting philosophies and options with you and support you in every decision YOU make.

7 - So you can be nurtured while you nurture your newborn.

5 - So you can be free of day-to-day household tasks in order to focus on bonding with your baby and your partner.
4 - For the most up to date information on products relating to babies. Your doula is an expert on all things “baby”, in spite of the ever-changing recommendations and product recalls.
3 - Doulas are trained to recognize the signs and symptoms of the postpartum baby blues and postpartum depression. Your doula can advise you of what is a “normal” part of your emotional recovery and what you might need some help with.
2 - So that you can allow yourself “real” sleep, knowing that a trained professional is caring for your baby while you rest and recover.
