WHAT’S A POSTPARTUM DOULA?
“So.. you’re like a nanny, right?” I get this question all the time. Actually, I’m a highly trained postpartum specialist. I’m a certified breastfeeding counselor. I’m a certified placenta encapsulation specialist. I’m certified in infant and child CPR. I’m a trained as childbirth educator and postpartum doula, as well. Can a nanny show a new mother the “football hold” technique after a cesarean or work an overnight shift of 8 to 12 hours, to give the parents much needed rest
