FAQ – Postpartum Doula Services

1. How long does a postpartum doula usually stay with a family?
It depends on your needs. Some families book a doula for a few hours a week, while others request daily support for several weeks. We work with you to create a schedule that fits your recovery and lifestyle.
A night nanny focuses mainly on the baby’s care overnight, while a postpartum doula supports the mother’s recovery during the day. A doula provides emotional, physical, and informational support — “mothering the mother” so she can better care for her baby.
Rates start at $60+ per hour. The total cost depends on the number of hours, frequency of visits, and duration of support. We provide clear, upfront pricing.
From breastfeeding guidance and soothing techniques to preparing light meals, offering reassurance, and giving you a chance to nap or shower, a doula helps with the everyday challenges of new motherhood.
