Imagine this:
A new family brings home their newborn baby, feeling exhausted and overwhelmed with a million questions about their infant and what is happening within their own body. They miss the call button they had access to in the hospital for support and questions. They think about calling their parents for help but are concerned about increasing their anxiety and stress by involving family. And they want to do this on their own—and do it just right. Enter the professional postpartum doula.
The professional postpartum doula nurtures the new mom to support recovery and healing, encourages the other parent into their new role, and sets the stage for the parents to get to know their new little family member as they begin this new relationship, creating a bond that will last forever.
Are you an NCS trained (or currently in training) with Newborn Care Solutions who wants to expand your role in caring for postpartum families?
This is just the training you need
The Postpartum Doula fills an important role in today's family culture. The Postpartum Doula’s job is to make the transition to parenthood easier for new parents, to help the birth parent during their recovery period, to ascertain what the family needs help with and provide the instruction and support in order that the family has the skills to care for themselves and the newborn even when the doula is not there.
Statistics show that families who have support during the postpartum period tend to have lower rates of postpartum mood disorders, breastfeed for a longer duration, have deeper bonds with the baby and their partner, and make a better adjustment to parenthood. This unique opportunity will give you the education and skills necessary to support families through their transition.
This training was created just for you.
As a newborn care specialist who has certified or is currently training with Newborn Care Solutions, you qualify for this professional postpartum doula training that will credit you for the newborn care you already, avoiding redundant information in your training. You will get the skills needed to be a postpartum doula in this FULL doula training.

Hi! I'm Laura
I have been a doula and educator for 25 years and a doula trainer for 20. With that combination I bring you practical, real-life skills from my experience, evidence from the latest research, presented with lightheartedness. My aim is to inspire you all to be the best doulas you can be.
I am a wife of 33 years with 3 adult kids who mean everything to me. I am also a cat mom and the grandma to a cat and a dog. The beach is my favorite place to be, Holden Beach NC to be specific. You can find me with my toes in the sand, reading a book, or walking the surf searching for shark teeth.
