Newborn soothing + sleep education

Routine is key to helping your baby learn to sleep throughout the night. During the first few months, your baby’s sleep schedule will largely be dictated by their eating pattern. However, as they grow, they’ll be able to go longer and longer between feedings. At this point, you can start to adhere to a day-night schedule.

Here’s some activities that can help your baby associate nighttime with sleeping:

Dimming the lights
Turning down the thermostat by 1-3 degrees
Creating a quiet environment
Taking a bath (only if it’s not too stimulating for the child)
Changing into pajamas and a fresh diaper
Reading a book
Singing a lullaby
Having a nighttime feed (but being sure the child does not fall asleep at the breast or bottle)
Giving a goodnight kiss

If you’re a new parent, you’ll know first-hand how difficult it is to soothe a baby to sleep when you yourself are feeling sleep-deprived.

Laundry, tidying, and meal/snack prep

Supporting you as you learn the ins and outs of having baby at home, and establishing your new normal is our priority. Assistance with light housekeeping tasks that help make the transition easier is provided. This may be tidying up, laundry or meal prep. Also, providing a safe set of hands to help care for baby while you address self-care such as showering, eating, napping, or spending time with an older sibling and helping with infant feeding is our concern. As a post-partum doula, I am qualified and eager to support all your infant feeding concerns.

Parent wellness check-ins

Birth could be at the hospital, home or birth center. Which ever one you are planning, a doula can provide you with the best care and support to help you in your journey. As exciting as childbirth feels, it can be overwhelming, exhausting and challenging for many parents. That been said, it is our mission to be by your side to provide regular check-ins for the welfare of you, your newborn and entire household; and offer much needed encouragement in this process

Sibling & pet adjustment support

One cannot overstress the importance of preparing siblings (and pets) for the new baby arrival. In the process of preparing to bring a new baby home, you might be wondering how the already-established relationships and dynamics in the household will change…with your partner, existing children—and even your pets! They will change, that’s for sure. But after an adjustment period, you’ll feel like your new family dynamic is everything it was ever meant to be. There are some tips to keep in mind as you prepare your children and pets to welcome your new baby which will be explored.

Overnight Support

The focus of overnight doula support becomes feeding and sleep, vital for the health of your entire family. When appropriate sleep hygiene, safe sleep guidelines and an early routine are established, these will help you get well on your way to confidently stepping into your new role as parents-regarding of it being your first or fourth baby.

One of the things your postpartum doula will do is to keep a thorough log of everything that happens during the night, so you can rest easy. The benefits of having overnight support are numerous. It can help reduce the risk of postpartum depression by allowing parents to get better sleep, and it provides peace of mind knowing that a professional is there to watch over the baby. For many families, this service is a game-changer, offering a balance between the demands of a newborn and the need for self-care.

I am sure you will like to know what it looks like to have overnight postpartum support. It’s a helping hand in the form of a knowledgeable professional who steps in when the rest of the world is asleep, ensuring that both you and your baby are well-cared for. It is a peaceful night’s sleep, a quiet house, and waking up feeling refreshed and ready to enjoy the day with your new little one.

Specialty Add-Ons

Babywearing Guidance

Help choose and safely use slings, wraps, or carriers.

There’s a right way and wrong way to go about baby wearing, as it is with a lot of other things. The differences between what’s safe and what isn’t may sometimes be very minimal. As baby-wearing products can lead to a greater risk of injury and hospitalizations in children under age 1, it is essential that your baby carrier is the correct size, selection, and wear⁵.

The baby-wearing community keeps an acronym call T.I.C.K.S., to be employed when wearing a child, which you should familiarize yourself with :

T: Tight. Baby should be upright and tight enough in a carrier that they’re held safely against whoever is wearing them. This prevents accidental falls.
I: In view at all times. Baby’s face should be visible to you so you can monitor their breathing. You can also keep a better eye on your baby’s mood if you can see them.
C: Close enough to kiss. Can you lower your head and kiss the top of your baby’s head? If not, you should reposition them in the carrier until they’re high enough to kiss with little effort.
K: Keep chin off chest. Look at your baby to ensure there’s a gap of about two fingers wide under their chin. If they’re in a good upright position with their spine curved and legs squatting, it’s less likely that their chin will drop.
S: Supported back. While you want your baby to be secure, resist over-tightening the carrier over their back. You should have your carrier tight enough that there’s no gap between your baby and your body, but loose enough that you can slide your hand into the carrier.
