What is a postpartum doula?
Postpartum doulas are knowledgeable women committed to helping families to integrate a new baby in a healthy way that supports the needs of the whole family. Families with additional postpartum support have been known to benefit from increased rates of successful breastfeeding, a reduction in parental stresses, earlier bonding due to increased maternal confidence, reduced rates of maternal postpartum depression (and/or shorter duration of depression if it occurs), and greater understanding of newborn emotional and physical needs and behavior.Selah Doula Services believes the wholeness of the community starts with the wellness of the family. Leila Lewis, knows families from all walks of life are best supported by first being heard with a compassionate heart and a willing spirit.
