Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Postpartum Doula Support

My (insert family member) will be around to help after baby, do I still need a postpartum doula?

In some cases, your mom/mother in law might be the perfect person to support your new family. In other cases, maybe they have different parenting philosophies. Maybe they don't live nearby, so their support is only for a small window of time.

As a postpartum doulas, we can provide care at any point in the postpartum journey, and we have the training and education (and experience!) to provide a non-judgmental and empathic ear.

So what do you DO the entire time you're here?

During our initial conversation, we will discuss your specific needs with the understanding that your actual needs may change over the duration of our time together.

Our primary concern is that your needs are being met... have you slept? when did you eat last? do you want to jump in the shower? what are you struggling with right now?

We can also help with light housework, like washing pump parts or bottles, folding laundry, preparing meals or even running to the store for you. We’re really good at entertaining toddlers and older children so you can get a break without another human hanging off of you.

We’ll never leave a shift without touching base on how YOU are doing... because when everyone else only sees the baby, we will be watching the foundation (read: Mom/Birthing Person/Parent/Family Unit).

Overnight: Your doula will join you in the evening and check in with how your day went, help with any concerns, and provide that emotional support before you slip off to bed. Your doula will then have an ear out for baby the entire night, and provide nighttime care.

Exclusively breastfeeding? Our lactation counselor will help you and the doula develop a plan so that you can get sleep AND continue to feed as you intend! Don’t

How long do you stay?

It all depends on your needs! A minimum day shift is 3 hours, and a minimum overnight shift is 6 hours. Some families want help once or twice a week, while others prefer a little help every day. Some postpartum doulas limit their time with their clients to the first few months of baby's life... At Transitions, we find the postpartum period definitely extends further, and we can provide services beyond that time.

What makes you different?

• We have a team that has been in this birth community for years. We’ve supported countless families on this journey, and we’ve helped process many, MANY birth experiences.

• We have a Certified Lactation Counselor (Renee), and can help you with latch, breastfeeding assessment, and weighted feeds in your home.

• We have brought home our own babies, and can personally empathize with so many different scenarios that families encounter in this season of life.

• We support and celebrate families of all kinds.

What are Daytime hours vs Overnight hours?

• Daytime (7am-7pm)

• Overnight (7pm-7am)
