Postpartum doula care is unique in that we support families as a whole; we do not focus on just infant care. Our goal is to support mothers, but part of supporting mothers is family support and care. As a postpartum doula, you become one with the family for a period of time. They will have their own parenting styles, customs, and you will also likely be supporting the extended family who may be visiting. Sometimes mother/daughter relationships can be difficult and this may cause anxiety to the new mother.
This step addresses these issues and ways you can handle them and begins with a typical scenario you may encounter in your postpartum doula work. It continues with examining some causes of partner strain, expectations of grandparents and other relatives, and then moves into diversity with cultural customs that need to be respected. Some answers to questions below will require your own research.
