What is a postpartum doula?
According to the Childbirth and Postpartum Professional Association (CAPPA):
The postpartum doula is a trained professional who offers physical, emotional, and spiritual support to a new mother and the rest of the family. The main objective of the postpartum doula’s role is not to take over complete care of the newborn, but to educate and support the family so that they will feel empowered to care for their newborn themselves.
