BIRTH AND POSTPARTUM DOULAS
Throughout history, civilizations have utilized the wisdom and support of trained and experienced women for childbirth and newborn care. In our society there is a growing demand for such support today. Birth doulas provide prenatal preparation as well as support during childbirth, whereas postpartum doulas specialize in the care of the whole family during the newborn stage. They both offer emotional support, comfort techniques and sage advice.
• Doulas of North America offers information and national referrals
Doulas Association of Southern California offers referrals within SoCal
• Soft Slumbers is a local postpartum service owned by Kathleen Sullivan who I highly recommend.
