Postpartum doula care
Postpartum doula support provides families with peace of mind, knowing they will have help with whatever challenges lay ahead. A postpartum doula is trained and knowledgeable about breastfeeding, postpartum recovery, perinatal mood disorders, infant care & sleep, family dynamics, sibling adjustment, baby wearing, and much more! Your doula can also help with practical things around the house — meal prep, laundry, and light cleaning.
Whatever the chaos of your postpartum situation, a doula can provide calming guidance and help you find strategies that make the newborn days more manageable. Our doulas are here to help you gain confidence in your unique parenting approach.
Daytime doula care
Best for support with breastfeeding, infant care, hands-on help and household tasks. Daytime shifts are a great opportunity to have your new parent questions answered: everything from bath time to tummy time, baby soothing and more.
common tasks
Lactation support and help with baby feeding options (breast, bottle, formula)
Caring for baby while you shower or rest
Teaching you about normal newborn behavior and development
Meal prep, dishes
Combo doula care
Best for parents who want a combination of both daytime support & nighttime hours. Parents get the benefit of a good night’s sleep along with some help with infant care, nursing, and postpartum recovery during the day.
common tasks
Baby feeding help
Bath time, nail trimming, umbilical care
Overnight baby care so you can sleep
Sibling support — helping little ones to adjust to a new family member
overnight doula care
Best for parents who are returning to work, have multiple children, and/or need to be well rested for their busy days. 10-12 hour shifts allow the doula to answer your questions, give guidance, and parents still get to enjoy a full night’s sleep!
common tasks
Bringing baby to parents for breastfeeding or doula bottle feeding
Diaper changes, soothing back to sleep
Folding laundry, washing bottles and pump parts
We’re flexible! book a number of hours with a proposed schedule.
After your baby arrives, decide with your doula what frequency will best meet your needs.
Every family is unique — and we don’t expect you to know EXACTLY what you’re looking for before your baby has even arrived. But we’ve never heard anyone say they had too much help with their newborn. Our postpartum care coordinator, Angel, creates a customized package that works best for your family. She will answer your questions, suggest a package of hours to fit your situation, and then match you with a postpartum doula.
Having worked with postpartum families for 16 years, Angel is an expert in connecting families with the support they need in this tender time of transition. Reach out today and she’ll get back with you shortly!
The base hourly rate for postpartum doula care is $50/hour for a Senior Level Doula and $42/hour for an Apprentice Doula. There are discounts for clients who book bulk hours.
The cost of a postpartum doula can be offset with FSA or HSA funds, utilizing private insurance reimbursement, or the newly announced Doula Benefit available to Walmart Employees. You can also add us to your registry so friends and family can contribute to your doula fund! We are happy to assist you in securing the care you need as you welcome a new baby.
