I daughter is 7 months old so we haven't tried popcorn yet, but my mom is a nursery school teacher and she not allowed to give her kids popcorn. They can chock very easily on that. Other families I know waiting until 3 years old to let there kids eat it.
The doula determines, for example, how many prenatal and postpartum appointments to have with clients, and at what point in their labor to will join them. Many doulas in the Pioneer Valley area work on a sliding scale basis. Fees in metropolitan areas often run in the range of $2000-$2500 per birth. Midwives who also work as doulas usually earn $1000- $1200+ in Western Mass. Postpartum doulas in the Amherst/Northampton area earn between $15-$35 an hour, with $20 an hour being typical.
