Frequently asked questions

A postpartum doula supports your family in the weeks after your baby is born. That means practical, hands-on help with newborn care, feeding, rest, and recovery, plus education so you feel confident as a new parent.

Yes. Our postpartum doula is a certified prenatal lactation educator with newborn care experience in feeding support, and offers education and practical help whether you breastfeed, bottle feed, or do both. For medical feeding concerns, we'll help you connect with your pediatrician or a lactation consultant.

Daytime visits focus on newborn care, feeding, and recovery help while you're awake and want a hand. Overnight care covers the night shift so you can sleep while your baby is cared for. Extended support combines both over several weeks.

Rates start at $55 per hour for daytime support, $65 per hour for overnight support, and $75 per hour for extended support. A free 30-minute consult helps us recommend the right amount of time for your family.
