THE BENEFITS OF A POSTNATAL DOULA

As a postnatal doula, Kelly can also support older siblings as they transition to being a big brother or big sister

    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.
