What is a postpartum doula?
An Austin Infant Care postpartum doula is a specialized caregiver dedicated to supporting new families through the early days and weeks following childbirth. This support encompasses a variety of tasks aimed at nurturing the family as a whole.
Attachment-based care, backed by science.
Attachment-based care is fundamental to our practice. It influences how we interact with both babies and parents, ensuring that all care activities promote a secure attachment. This approach involves responsive caregiving that attends to the emotional signals of the baby, fostering an environment of safety and trust. Our doulas are trained to support and enhance the attachment process through consistent and sensitive responses to the baby's needs, which also helps parents feel more connected and confident in their roles.

What a postpartum doula does not do.
While postpartum doulas provide extensive support to new families, there are certain services they do not offer. Postpartum doulas do not perform medical tasks; they do not diagnose conditions, prescribe treatments, or conduct clinical assessments. Additionally, while they assist with light household tasks related to the baby's care and the well-being of mom, they are not housekeepers and do not do deep cleaning or handle heavy household chores. Their focus is on providing emotional support, practical baby care assistance, and educational guidance.
