As a postpartum doula it's insulting to see that photo of a baby with a bottle shoved in it's mouth.
PLEASE REMOVE IT!
Look at DONA.org short video about the history of postpartum and birth doulas.

The existence of postpartum Doulas came about to support breastfeeding. We are NOT interchangeable with baby nurses.
Please Read anthropologist Dana Raphael's book "The tender girt: Breastfeeding", she coined the word DOULA. Postpartum doulas are there for women who want support with breastfeeding.
