Certificate Description
The ICEA Certified Postpartum Doulas are trained professionals who understand the individualized needs of today’s families.
They provide families with culturally appropriate emotional support to assist with the transitions of the postpartum period and having a new baby. ICEA Certified Postpartum Doulas also respect the parenting style of the family, provide opportunities for the mother to ask questions or express concerns, and provide encouragement. They also demonstrate newborn care, assist with breastfeeding, provide care to older children, and more.
The program is developed and managed by ICEA, a professional organization that supports educators and health care professionals who believe in freedom to make decisions based on knowledge of alternatives in family-centered maternity and newborn care.
