Daytime Postpartum Doula

Thoughtful, responsive daytime support to help you rest, recover, and feel confident in your new rhythm.

We are your in-home postpartum expert, emotional support, and hands-on helper all rolled into one. Whether you’re navigating baby care, feeding challenges, or just trying to get a nourishing lunch and a nap, we’re here to gently guide, support, and walk beside you in those early weeks (and beyond).


What Does Daytime Doula Support Look Like?

Your Postpartum Doula will work with you for 5 hour shifts and can help with a wide range of needs! Here are a few things you can expect from your doula regardless of what time of day you book:

  • Newborn care + feeding support (including bottle prep, pumping help, and general lactation guidance)

  • Emotional check-ins + reassurance

  • Light household help (laundry, tidying, etc.)

  • Meal Prep help

  • Daily rhythm + sleep environment guidance

  • Returning to work prep

Daytime Support FAQs:

  • We can meet you as you get home from the hospital! Many of our families choose this option as they get settled in. Their doula can help with making them a meal, answering those early newborn care questions, running out to the shops for any forgotten baby items, and check in on postpartum healing or lactation support.

  • Nannies are for childcare. Postpartum Doulas are there for support in the early days after your baby arrives to help you with day-to-day tasks, offer newborn care advice, and to provide you with gentle care so you can rest, recover & bond with your baby.

  • We have a minimum of 5 hrs for daytime shifts, but if you need longer, we are happy to accommodate!

  • On average, families book 2-3 days per week for the first month with their babies. But every schedule is customized to your needs!

  • Everything from newborn soothing, bottle washing, feeding guidance, and pump setup… to laundry folding, snack prep, and emotional check-ins. We’ll adjust based on what you need each visit.

  • Most families reserve their postpartum doula support during the first or second trimester. We book up several months in advance, so early inquiry = best chance at a match!

  • Our daytime support is booked hourly at $50/hr with a minimum of 5 hours.

  • Because of our scope of practice and the guidelines of our liability insurance, we are not able to provide childcare without a parent present.

    However, helping you navigate your first outing with your baby is well within scope for us!
