Overnight
Postpartum Services
Sleep deprivation is an unavoidable part of bringing home a newborn. The sudden shifts in hormone levels, accumulated fatigue from pregnancy and labor, and round-the-clock demands of the newborn all take their toll on your well-being. I offer overnight postpartum doula services and newborn care so that you and your partner can get much-needed rest.
How I Support You
My role will vary with your unique needs, but these core elements are nearly always included:
If you are breastfeeding I will bring your baby to you as needed to feed
If your baby is bottle-fed or you have pumped breast milk, I can feed your baby
After baby feeds, I will change, swaddle and soothe your baby back to sleep
If the situation allows, I can tidy up the kitchen and prepare healthy snacks for you to eat that night and the following day.
Often, I fold baby laundry and spend time gathering resources that you might need
