The Doula Network of Fort Wayne

The Doula Network of Fort Wayne Doulas provide evidence-based information, and physical and emotional support to moms and partners during the prenatal, birth, and postpartum journey.

The Doula Network of Fort Wayne (DNFW) is an association of independent doulas in and around Fort Wayne, Indiana, joined together to support and encourage one another and to increase the public's awareness of the benefits of working with a doula before, during, and after birth. We are NOT a doula practice or a training organization, but a group of professionals working to positively impact the loc

al birth culture. We are both birth and postpartum doulas who support all choices for labor, birth, and postpartum, the only criteria being that the mother-to-be is the one making them. Our doulas are as unique and varied as the families we serve. But one thing is certain - we're ALL passionate about and deeply committed to helping local women and their families have the kind of labor, birth, and postpartum experience they always hoped possible.

Like birth, every breastfeeding relationship is a new beginning. Even when you've breastfed babies in the past, you've never breastfed this baby, and it's okay to feel like you're a beginner again. Support and education make a difference at each stage in growing a family.

This World Breastfeeding Week, we especially highlight the unexpected turns breastfeeding can take. While doulas don't diagnose tongue ties or provide treatment plans for babies who need specialized care, we do come alongside families navigating breastfeeding challenges and provide evidence-based information and intentional support.

Doulas provide evidence-based education that helps families feel informed and confident as they begin their breastfeeding journey. From understanding feeding cues to learning about milk supply and latch techniques, a doula’s guidance helps set the foundation for a positive and supported start.

The golden hour after birth is a powerful time for bonding, recovery, and beginning the feeding journey. A doula provides calm and steady support by helping the new mother get comfortable, providing experienced guidance as the newborn latches, and creating a peaceful space for connection. That first feed doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. With a doula’s gentle care, breastfeeding can begin with confidence and peace.

It’s World Breastfeeding Week!

Among our doulas you'll find a wide range of qualified breastfeeding support. No matter what your journey looks like, we're here every step of the way.
