While the choice is yours it is important to note the differences between the two groups.
A Newborn Care Specialists responsibilities only include the newborn and newborn related tasks. Think nursery maintenance, diaper pale, baby laundry etc. This provide has the liability insurance to cover solo care of the newborn and the expertise to back it up.
A Postpartum Doula handles the household during the postpartum period with a focus on the mother. This includes family laundry, sibling care to support bonding, and meal preparation. These providers don’t have as much training in newborn care practices and are not eligible to care for any child solo due to liability. Therefore, a parent must be present and functional in the home.
