    In this episode of the Doula Talk podcast, Lindsee and I explore the transformative role of postpartum doulas in supporting families during the transition into parenthood. We discuss how postpartum doulas provide essential care—from baby care and meal prep to emotional support and light chores—helping parents navigate the early days with confidence and calm.

    You’ll also learn about the benefits of having a postpartum doula, including increased self-confidence, reduced risk of mood disorders, and greater success with breastfeeding. Plus, we offer tips on finding and hiring the right doula or exploring alternative postpartum support options.

    If you’re committed to making the most of your postpartum journey, this episode is a must-listen!
