Maternal care

A postpartum doula offers families valuable support during one of the most exciting yet challenging phases of life: the arrival of a newborn. She provides assistance both during pregnancy and after birth. How a postpartum doula can contribute to easing the burden on families' daily lives is determined individually based on the needs and circumstances of each family.
