What came before the baby nurse?
The answer is a "Doula". Doulas are trained women who specialize in infant care, breastfeeding support, meal preparation,sibling care, companionship transportation, errand runs, laundry, and light housekeeping. The focus of the doula is infant family bonding, emotional support, encouraging parents to catch up on sleep while the doula catches up on laundry, household chores and childcare. Support packages and gift certificates can be purchased through the GBMC Doula Touch program 443-849-6287. Great gift idea for a baby shower!!!
