Daytime packages

Overnight Packages

​
Sleep:  1 overnight shift                                 
Cost:  $250 (10pm-7am)
Getting enough sleep can be a key factor to avoiding postpartum depression. Parenting doesn't stop at nighttime, but having a postpartum doula may allow your family to ease into it. This allows you to get some extra shut-eye and have the peace of mind your baby's needs are met. A typical overnight would look like: 

• Upon arrival, a brief overview of your day and time to get any questions answered (referrals given if needed)
• Light undisruptive housework may be done (baby laundry, washing and prepping bottles)
• Breastfeeding clients: baby will be brought to you to nurse, then I will burp, soothe, and settle your baby
• Bottle-feeding babies will be completely taken care of throughout the night
• Or try a combination of breast and bottle! 
• Wrapping up the night includes a final diaper change, feeding, and washing of any bottles used (time permitted)
