For Black birthing people across the diaspora, discover and explore what a doula is and how having a doula can benefit the entire family in this kid-friendly book about birth and pregnancy.
Black moms, dads, and other caregivers who want to share their birth journey with their children and other family members-but don't quite know how-now have a book crafted just for them.
Written by a mother-daughter duo, Mommy Has A Doula is the perfect way to introduce the idea of having a doula to children, partners, and family members. Did you know that studies have shown one of the major reasons birthing people experience prolonged postpartum depression is due to lack of support? Doulas support the entire family throughout a pregnancy-including the postpartum months.
Doulas are vital in cultivating a positive birth experience. It's important to share with young children how a family's doula is helping bring another wonderful member into the world!
Mommy Has A Doula describes what a doula is, why they are important to the entire family, and why mamas and birthing people benefit from having a doula that comes from the community they serve... all in a vibrantly-illustrated book that will engage kids and invite them to ask questions!
If you have a soon-to-be big brother or sister, expecting parents, or pregnant person in your life, consider Mommy Has A Doula. It's specifically designed to open a conversation for Black pregnant and birthing people across the diaspora about what a doula is and how an entire family can benefit from it.
