MODERN, EVIDENCE-BASED CARE

Night Doula Services Include:

Nighttime Newborn Care

I focus on nurturing your newborn while adhering to the highest safety and care standards. This includes:

  • Feeding, diapering, and comforting your baby so you can rest undisturbed.

  • Establishing a nighttime routine that works for your family and creating an optimal sleep environment.

  • Whether I gently wake you up to nurse for night feeds, or I feed them with a bottle, your baby will be nourished and loved throughout the night.

  • Following AAP recommendations to ensure your baby's safety, including maintaining a safe sleep space at all times.

New Parent Support

  • Handling baby-related chores such as: washing bottles and pump parts, breastmilk/formula prep, organization of the nursery, restocking and refreshing changing stations, and starting baby laundry as needed.

  • Comprehensive notes on your baby’s feeds, diapers, and sleep, so when you awaken the next morning you are fully caught up.

  • Providing gentle guidance on newborn care such as: routines and schedules, safe sleep, feeding, swaddling, soothing, nursery set-up, and car seat safety.
