A postpartum doula is a trained professional who provides guidance and support for new parents. The main focus is to mother the mother so she feels nurtured as she cares for her newborn. A typical shift with a postpartum doula could include:

• Guidance for bottle or breastfeeding

• Baby care instruction

• Support for mom’s physical recovery

• Light household organization and meal planning

• Emotional support for the transition to motherhood

Postpartum doulas are not medical providers, but offer referrals as needed. We offer daytime shifts at a set hourly rate. We are currently booking clients for October 2026 and beyond. We serve Ames, Iowa, and families living within 15 miles of Ames.
