Frequently Asked Questions
Are there any age limits?
Anybody can study with Childbirth
International, whether they are aged 16 or 65 (or older!)
There are no age limits to training as a Birth Doula, Postpartum Doula,
Childbirth Educator or Breastfeeding Counselor. For example, in the
Birth Doula field, a younger doula you may be the perfect support for
young women looking for peer support. As an older doula, you may be the
perfect support for someone looking for life experience. Every birth
professional has something different to offer.
"Having such experienced doulas to discuss all sorts
of birth topics was great! I now feel confident & prepared
to perform my tasks as a labor doula because of this course.
Thanks to you all!" Jeanne, Alabama
