Adelaide Postnatal Support
THE BENEFITS OF A POSTNATAL DOULA
Research tells us that women who have support from a Postnatal Doula have:
- Greater breastfeeding success
- Greater self-confidence
- Less postnatal depression
- Greater feelings of support for and from their partner, which can have a significant impact on their partner's own experience
- Lower incidence of abuse than those who do not have a doula
- Timely referrals to appropriate professionals and support groups
- More understanding on what to expect from a newborn
- Increased baby-soothing skills
- Greater sense of bonding and communication with their newborn
- Better coping skills
Every family can benefit from the support and encouragement I offer
during the fourth trimester.
Kelly has been awesome and a big help to make things so much easier for me while I settle into being a mum of two.
