Understanding the roles
Newborn Care Specialist vs. Postpartum Doula in San Diego
Newborn Care Specialists (NCS) focus primarily on caring for your baby. Depending on qualifications and your family's agreement, they may assist with overnight care, feeding schedules, diapering, soothing, and establishing consistent infant routines.
Postpartum doulas focus on the transition for the entire family. They may offer nonmedical emotional and practical support, newborn education, sibling adjustment and light household help.
Neither role substitutes for a pediatrician, obstetrician, licensed nurse or other medical professional. Birth doulas provide a different service from postpartum doulas; let us know if you are seeking birth support.
