Doulaing The Doula is excited to announce our new Infant Feeding Course taking place this May! This course is designed for you to help parents with their feeding journey – whether that includes breastfeeding, bottle feeding, or both – without judgment. This interactive course includes topics like breastfeeding basics, the journey of lactation, common problems and solutions, human milk expression, infant formula feeding, and more.
