  3. POST-PARTUM DOULAwhat is a Doula? • New parents know how difficult it is to come back home with a new baby, especially if it is the first one. • The first few weeks are the most critical, where most families need help and support. Post-partum doulas are experienced women, who provide assistance on infant feeding, basic newborn care, and physical and emotional support after delivery. • They provide support to the whole family, helping them to find their role in the process, as opposed to a baby nurse who takes care of the baby exclusively.

  6. WILL • Although the subject of death is a taboo people hate to talk about, new parents have the responsibility towards their offspring to have a will, in order to insure the financial future of the children, and their guardian after one’s death. • The will includes: • Distribution of property and wealth • Designate a guardian for children • Healthcare directives, life support • Contact a lawyer who can best assist you with the will.

  7. Packing for the hospital • The mother: • Health insurance • Nursing bras/breast pads • Nursing pillow, nightgown, slippers, socks, toiletries, magazines, glasses • The baby: • Car seat • Outfits • Hat, socks, receiving blankets, newborn diapers, wipes, mittens
