Overnight postpartum Support and Infant Care
Postpartum doula overnight support can be a game-changer for new parents. As a new mom or dad, the demands of caring for a newborn around the clock can be overwhelming. That's where a postpartum doula comes in.
By providing overnight support and infant care, I can assist new parents in getting more rest and to recharge while the baby is cared for. Overnight support can include tasks like feeding and diaper changes, soothing the baby back to sleep, and providing emotional support and guidance for the new parents… before you head to bed! With the help of a postpartum doula, new parents can feel more confident and supported as they adjust to their new roles and learn to care for their little one.

All clients can choose aspects of care they are interested in and craft the perfect postpartum care plan for their needs.
Are there deeper, more holistic aspects of care?
Yes, Absolutely! There is an expectation, and quite possibly a belief that once the baby is born and both mama and baby are stable, things are back to normal. This couldn’t be further from the truth.
In Western culture, unlike many other cultures around the world, new mothers do not have woman-centered, holistic traditions that support the mother and family in the postpartum period while she adjusts to the changes of life with a baby. But we did once, and it’s important to the well-being of the entire family that these things are accessible again.
Mothers need care, assistance, time to reflect, to talk about their birth stories and be heard without judgment or criticism.
