5 Reasons to Have a Night Doula

  1. Sleep with peace.  You can't help but jump out of bed with each new sound your baby makes.  An overnight doula will be right there to tend to your baby so you can sleep peacefully, knowing your baby will be looked after.
  2. Support with night breastfeeding.  Night feeding can be difficult if you aren't aware of a baby's early cues that hunger is mounting.  Your night doula will be present to attend to your baby, take note of early hunger cues, and bring your baby to you before she is frustrated.  Your night doula will take care of all the burping, changing and soothing baby back to sleep, so you can return to rest. 
  3. Companionship in the wee hours.  If you are awake and need emotional support while you and your baby are learning how to breastfeed, having a non-judgmental person there to encourage you can be incredibly helpful.  A night doula can also help with positioning and getting a great latch for comfort and feeding. 
  4. A night doula will have up to date information on all things "baby", and what might be best for your parenting style.  With new information and products being released all the time, your doula will help you be confident in the choices you are making for you child.  
  5. A night doula will be present and available for you as a safe and judgement-free witness to your introduction into parenthood.  As you learn what is best for you and best for your baby, you can have hands on support encouraging you to develop confidence at your own pace. 

    And finally...because you deserve this!  Being a new parent is difficult and having a night doula is one more tool in your kit that can get you started off on this journey with success. 

    How could a night doula help you?
