It is my - limited - experience that postnatal doulas help new mums by
doing things for them so that the mother can spend most/ all of their
time concentrating on the mothering and nurturing - rather than
maternity nurses, or what have you, that take over the care of the baby
to allow the mum to rest :-) What they do can vary from doula to doula
- but can include things like cooking, looking after other kids etc.
