Welcoming a baby into the world is one of life’s biggest transitions—and it often comes with a mix of joy, exhaustion, and uncertainty. That’s where doulas come in. Whether it’s your first child or your fourth, having a trained support person by your side before, during, and especially after birth can make all the difference in how your family adjusts and thrives.
What is a Doula?
A doula is a trained professional who provides emotional, physical, and informational support to families throughout the perinatal experience. While birth doulas specialize in supporting labor and delivery, postpartum doulas step in after the baby arrives, offering hands-on assistance, nurturing care, and steady reassurance in those early weeks at home.
The Power of Postpartum Support
At Mama Bear & Newborn Care, we understand that the fourth trimester is just as important as pregnancy and birth. Our postpartum doulas offer:
Newborn Care: Diapering, swaddling, soothing techniques, and sleep guidance so you can rest and recover.
Feeding Support: Whether you’re breastfeeding, pumping, or formula-feeding, we offer help that aligns with your family’s needs.
Emotional Check-Ins: We’re here to listen, reassure, and help you feel less alone during this major adjustment.
Household Help: From baby laundry to nursery restocking, our doulas help lighten the load so you can focus on bonding.
Partner + Sibling Support: We’re here for the whole family, ensuring everyone feels supported and included in the transition.
Our doulas don’t come in with a one-size-fits-all approach—we listen first. We create individualized care plans, support your parenting preferences, and advocate for what you need to feel confident and cared for.
What About Birth Doulas?
While much of our team specializes in postpartum, we also proudly offer birth doulas who provide continuous support during labor and delivery. We help create personalized birth plans, advocate for your wishes, and walk beside you before, during, and after childbirth—ensuring you're informed, empowered, and never alone.
