A Newborn Care Specialist should be trained in all aspects of newborn/infant care and is able to provide independent care for the baby, in addition to parent education. Many Newborn Care Specialists offer additional expertise in postpartum care, lactation, sleep, and perinatal mental health.
A postpartum doula supports parents with informational, physical, and emotional support. Postpartum doulas can care for the newborn under the supervision of a parent but their primary goal is to educate and support the parent as they recover and learn about their baby. Doulas may also help with household tasks such as laundry, meal prep, and dishes.
