“As Americans, we are under the impression that new moms are ‘Superwomen’ & can return to life as it was before the baby. We must remember to celebrate this new mother and emulate the other cultures that honor new mothers by caring for them, supporting them, & placing value on the magnificent transformation she is going through. This is the greatest gift we can give to new mothers & newborns”

What is a doula?

Provides evidenced-based information on topics such as infant feeding, emotional and physical recovery from birth, parental bonding with baby, infant soothing, and basic newborn care. Also provides mental, physical and emotional support from labor to postpartum.

Doulas are just for moms.

Wrong! Doula provides support for the entire family, moms, dads, baby, siblings and pets. We are there to make the journey into parenthood as smooth as possible for everyone involved.

Doulas are for the rich and elite.

At Bonita Bellies we strive to make postpartum doula care accessible for every family. Babies do not care about how deep your pockets run, they will cry and scream anyway. No matter the income bracket, help at Bonita Bellies is always accessible.
