Oh Happy Days: Daytime Doula Visit

Days with a new baby mean lots of snuggles but can also feel endless and lonely. They can be especially hard if you have older children to care for, as well.

Daytime doula support from Bridgetown Baby can start as soon after your baby’s/babies’ arrival as you’d like, and can help nurture the whole family in a variety of ways.

At the beginning of each visit, your doula will help you prioritize 2-4 goals for the visit. Examples include: a shower, a nap, help with feeding, cooking a pot of soup for dinner, giving the baby a bath together, and/or completing a couple of loads of laundry. We can also accomplish a lesson on babywearing, provide you with time to return a few phone calls, and/or set you up to take a sitz bath. Additionally, we can spend one-on-one time with the partner/papa/grandparent on bottle-feeding, swaddling, or simply answering newborn questions.

Daytime visits are typically 5 hours in duration, scheduled between 9am and 5pm.

*Travel Fee is assessed if your location is more than 15 miles from the Burnside Bridge. The fee is $20 per visit and goes directly to your doula to cover the cost of mileage & their extra time.*
