Postpartum Agreement

This Postpartum Doula Agreement (the ‘Agreement’) is entered into by and between (the ‘Doula’) and Mile High Doulas. This Agreement begins on the date the Doula signs this Agreement and will continue yearly unless terminated earlier by one of the parties.

Certifications and Insurance-

Doula must be certified or working towards certification.
CPR certifications must be kept current.
Doula must carry CM&F Liability Insurance.

Standards and Ethics- Doulas will follow the DONA/CAPPA Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics. In addition Doulas must:

Show up on time.
Wear appropriate attire.
Check in with both parents and make sure they and the infant are fully supported.
Offer household support, meal prep, laundry, nursery cleaning, empty diaper pail, dishes and all bottles cleaned, and help with whatever else is necessary to set the parents up for success.

Continuity of Care-

Doula will always leave the space better than they found it.
Act as a doula, not a babysitter.
Offer advice, recommendations, lactations and feeding support, and help educate parents on a healthy schedule for routines and sleep.
Check in with BOTH parents on their mental health and always refer out when needed.
Doula will offer evidence based support and education. If you are asked a question you do not know the answer to do not make something up. It is better to tell the parents you are not sure but that you would be happy to do research on the matter and get back to them. Reach out to your fellow doulas with any and all questions.
Be informed on all updates from AAP. Doulas should be educating parents on safe sleep guidelines and these MUST be followed at all times. Doula will sign off on the Safe Sleep Guidelines Agreement
- Safe sleep surface.
- No bed sharing.
- Nothing in bed with the baby.
- No inclined sleepers. (unless ok’d by a doctor)
Doula will not consume alcohol or smoke on the same day as scheduled for support.
Doula will avoid fragrances or scented lotions.
Doula will disclose all medical conditions that could impact their ability to support their client.
Doula will keep open communication with clients and colleagues. A written log should be kept for all duties performed overnight, diapers, feeding log, any pertinent information regarding mama or baby, and a list of duties completed. This ensures the routine will be maintained if another doula needs to step in.
