Daddies and Doulas

Usually daddies and partners find that they love having a doula with them. A doula can help the father to support the mother and the doula can give him a much needed break to eat, use the restroom, and update other family members on the mothers progress, all while having the peace of mind that the mother is being cared for by the doula. 

The doula always respects the couples right to privacy and can usually sense when the couple needs time alone to be close. The doula can also encourage the father and help him to feel confident in his ability to comfort the mother.
