What's not Included in overnight doula services?
When you hire me as your overnight doula, you can expect me to wake with the baby and bring them to you for feedings, then change them and soothe back to sleep as many times as needed within my 8-hour shift.
Here are some tasks that are not included in overnight doula services:
- Housekeeping, folding laundry or meal prep
- Medical tasks or clinical advice
- Caring for other children in the home overnight
Your overnight doula’s role is to help you get as much rest as possible while knowing your newborn is safe and soothed.
