why do newborns need a postpartum doula, not just their mamas? by emily koester

We knew they were amazingly aware and sensitive but we never knew newborns were taking ALL of life in at THAT kind of rate! Yes, it's true: newborns make 42,000 connections in their brains per minute!  And, what is even almost as incredible is that this rate of growth and cognitive functioning continues on at this kind of lightning speed for the first 3 years of life! Wow! 
That being said, what better time to invest in their well being than in those first most influential days, weeks, months. 
Postpartum doulas are trained to understand and comprehend the needs of the newborn on so many levels. One of their most important roles is to convey their needs and subtle nuances to their parents and then help parents know how to respond in an optimal way. When baby's needs are understood and met, mamas are happy too. Plain and simple...!
