What is a postpartum doula?
A postpartum doula is a specialized caregiver dedicated to supporting new families through the early days and weeks following childbirth. This support encompasses a variety of tasks aimed at nurturing the family as a whole—facilitating newborn care, offering breastfeeding or bottle-feeding support, and providing evidence-based education on baby and maternal health. A postpartum doula also provides emotional support, helping to ease the transition into new parental roles and alleviate the common concerns that come with this significant life change
How We Help
At Austin Infant Care, you receive personalized care in every way. We believe in supporting families through customizable care packages designed to align with your specific goals, budget, and family dynamics. Our approach is rooted in the principles of attachment-based care, ensuring that every interaction supports the development of strong and secure relationships between parents and their newborns.
Attachment-based care is fundamental to our practice. It influences how we interact with both babies and parents, ensuring that all care activities promote a secure attachment. This approach involves responsive caregiving that attends to the emotional signals of the baby, fostering an environment of safety and trust. Our doulas are trained to support and enhance the attachment process through consistent and sensitive responses to the baby's needs, which also helps parents feel more connected and confident in their roles.

While postpartum doulas provide extensive support to new families, there are certain services they do not offer. Postpartum doulas do not perform medical tasks; they do not diagnose conditions, prescribe treatments, or conduct clinical assessments. Additionally, while they assist with light household tasks related to the baby's care and the well-being of mom, they are not housekeepers and do not do deep cleaning or handle heavy household chores. Their focus is on providing emotional support, practical baby care assistance, and educational guidance.
