I am a DONA trained postpartum doula. As a postpartum doula I offer companionship, help with breastfeeding, help with baby care, light housekeeping, make sure mom is nourished and hydrated, run errands, help with siblings, emotional support for the whole family, and education.  I ease the transition into parenthood or ease the transition of an expanding family.  When I leave, the family should feel secure and confident in themselves.
