What Support do you need?

Day Time Hours

A postpartum doula can help you feel more in control of day-to-day life, letting you focus on rest and your baby.

Sample Postpartum 4-hour Day Shift:

  • Arrive and connect. How are you doing? What is your biggest need?

  • Talk through some concerns you have about feeding and develop a plan.

  • You take a nap. I place your baby on me in a wrap and get to work!

  • Tidy the main areas and put things away.

  • Wipe down surfaces in the kitchen, bathrooms and living space.

  • Wash any pump and bottle parts.

  • Throw in a new load of laundry and fold what’s in the dryer.

  • Prep some overnight oats for the week, a freezer meal for a different day, and have a soup on the stove for lunch.

  • All while supporting your baby with any diapers or feeds.

Overnight Hours

Postpartum doula support overnight is especially helpful to catch up on sleep after a rough stretch. Sleep is critical to your mental health, and an overnight postpartum doula is one tool in the toolbox.

Sample 8-hour Overnight Postpartum Doula Shift:

  • Arrive and connect. Any concerns that may make falling asleep difficult for you? What are a few items I can help with early in the night?

  • Get you and baby tucked into your respective beds.

  • Reset the kitchen for the next day.

  • Tidy living spaces.

  • Fold any available laundry

  • Settle in to sleep in baby’s room, while you sleep soundly elsewhere.

  • Wake with baby and take care of needs: diapering, feeding etc.

Overnight feeding can by done by bottle with expressed milk or formula. I can also bring your baby to your for feeds, then return them back to their room to settle them to sleep.
