A postpartum doula is a person who comes alongside you nonjudgmentally at any point after you have a baby to make the transition easier. They provide emotional support to the mom and entire family, support to the mother as she recovers physically, help with practical tasks like dishes and provide information and expertise on newborn care, normal recovery, and feeding & sleep issues.

Fun Things to Do With Your Winter Baby in Erie PA | Northwest PA Doulas

December 12, 2016 Chrissy Dougan

"Even though your initial thought might be that it’s hard to go places with a small baby, it can actually be easier when they are little! Before they can crawl or walk (they quickly learn how fun it is to watch you chase after them), they enjoy being close to you and tend to sleep a lot. They might like being pushed in a stroller or worn in a carrier. After you get some practice leaving the house with baby, you will gain confidence and figure out what works best. "
