Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common questions

What is the difference between a Postpartum Doula and a Baby Nurse?

A postpartum doula supports the entire family's adjustment, focusing on maternal recovery, infant care education, and household organization. A baby nurse primarily focuses on newborn care, often overnight.

How long do postpartum doula services typically last?

Services can range from a few weeks to several months, depending on the family's needs. Some doulas offer hourly, daily, or overnight packages.

Do postpartum doulas help with older siblings?

Yes, many postpartum doulas can assist with sibling integration, helping older children adjust to the new baby and providing support to ease the transition.

Are postpartum doula services covered by insurance?

Coverage varies. Some health insurance plans, HSAs, or FSAs may cover doula services. It's best to check with your provider directly.

What qualifications should I look for in a postpartum doula?

Look for certification from a reputable organization (e.g., DONA International, CAPPA), experience, references, and a personality that aligns with your family's needs.

Can a postpartum doula help with breastfeeding issues?

While doulas can offer basic breastfeeding support and education, for complex issues, they typically refer to an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC).
