Postpartum Doula Support
Rest. Recover. Learn your baby. Find your rhythm. Save time for you.
Bringing your baby home can be beautiful, exhausting, confusing, and overwhelming, sometimes all within the same hour.
Postpartum doula support provides your family with an experienced set of hands during the transition to life with a newborn. Whether you need help recovering after birth, more sleep overnight, reassurance about newborn care, or simply someone who can help make the day feel a little more manageable, support is tailored to what your family actually needs.
You do not have to already know what you’re doing or what you need before asking for help.
You Were Never Meant to Do This Part Alone
The postpartum period asks a lot of new parents.
You are recovering physically and emotionally while learning the needs of a brand-new person, navigating feeding, functioning on interrupted sleep, adjusting relationships and routines, and often trying to keep the rest of everyday life moving at the same time.
My role is to make that transition feel more manageable.
Sometimes that means caring for your baby while you sleep. Sometimes it means sitting beside you while you learn how to swaddle, bathe, soothe, or recognize your newborn’s cues. Other days, it may mean washing bottles, preparing feeding supplies, tidying the spaces you use most, or making sure you have the opportunity to shower and eat something with both hands. Sometimes it is simply being a non-overwhelmed shoulder to cry on.
Postpartum support is not about taking over your home or parenting your baby for you. It is about creating enough space for you to recover, learn, and become increasingly confident in your new normal.
Investment
Postpartum support can be booked based on the amount and type of care your family needs. Daytime and overnight support may be scheduled individually or combined into a larger postpartum care plan. Payment plans are available, as are baby shower gift vouchers.
Daytime Postpartum Support
$35/hour
Daytime support is available in 4-6 hour shifts and can be used for newborn care, parent recovery, feeding support, household help, education, or simply creating space for you to rest.
40-Hour Daytime Package — $1,300
Ideal for families who want consistent support during the early postpartum weeks while maintaining flexibility in how those hours are scheduled.
Overnight Postpartum Support
$350 per night
Overnight care is typically provided in 10-hour shifts between 9:00 p.m.–8:00 a.m., and is centered around maximizing parental rest while your baby is cared for throughout the night.
5-Night Package — $1,700
10-Night Package — $3,200
30-Night Package — $9,300
Packages are ideal for families who want consistent overnight support during the first few weeks home.
Extended Postpartum Support
100-Hour Package — $3,300
200-Hour Package — $6,400
For families who want more comprehensive support, a 100-hour package allows care to be divided between daytime and overnight shifts based on your family's needs and schedule.
Not Sure How Much Support You’ll Need?
2-3 nights a week for 10-12 weeks = 270-ish hours or ~30 nights
2-3 days a week for 10-12 weeks = 150-ish hours
2-4 days/nights a week for cesearean recovery (6wks) = 180-ish hours
You do not have to have your entire postpartum schedule figured out before reaching out. During your consultation, we can talk through your anticipated recovery, feeding plans, household support, work schedules, and goals for the early postpartum period to determine how much care makes the most sense for your family. Hours can be added to your contract if my availability allows.
Postpartum Support Options
Tailored Support for Every Family
Daytime Postpartum Support
Daytime shifts are flexible and tailored to what makes your day easier. Support may include:
Hands-on newborn care while you rest, shower, eat, or take time for yourself
Feeding support and help recognizing hunger and fullness cues
Bottle preparation and washing bottles, pump parts, and feeding supplies
Diaper changes, burping, soothing, swaddling, and settling baby for naps
Newborn care education, including bathing, cord care, safe sleep, and understanding newborn behavior
Helping you learn your baby’s cues, patterns, and preferred soothing techniques
Supporting realistic feeding, sleeping, and daily routines as they begin to develop
Preparing simple meals, snacks, and hydration
Doula level lactation support and resource connection
Baby laundry and light laundry related to postpartum recovery
Resetting feeding stations, changing areas, and frequently used newborn spaces

Creating space for naps and uninterrupted rest
Emotional support and a judgment-free place to process the transition into parenthood
Helping identify questions or concerns that may be appropriate to bring to your pediatrician, OB/GYN, midwife, lactation professional, or other provider
The goal of a daytime shift is not to take over your household. It is to take enough off your plate that you have room to recover, learn your baby, and feel more like yourself again.
Overnight Postpartum Support
Overnight shifts are centered around protecting rest while making sure your baby’s needs are met throughout the night. Support may include:
Providing newborn care throughout the overnight shift so parents can maximize their sleep
Monitoring baby’s waking, feeding, and sleep cues throughout the night
Preparing and offering bottles according to your family’s feeding plan
Bringing baby to a breastfeeding parent for feeds and taking over again afterward
Burping, diapering, soothing, swaddling, and settling the baby back to sleep
Helping establish developmentally appropriate nighttime rhythms and sleep habits
Washing and resetting bottles, pump parts, and feeding supplies for the next feed
Preparing formula or organizing expressed milk according to your family’s routine
Restocking diapers, wipes, burp cloths, and other frequently used overnight supplies
Keeping the nursery, feeding area, and overnight care spaces reset for the morning
Documenting feeds, diapers, sleep, and other overnight patterns when requested
Offering newborn education and troubleshooting when parents are awake and want support
Helping families identify patterns that may make nights more manageable over time
The goal of overnight support is simple: you sleep as much as your feeding plan and baby allow, while I handle the rest.
