we hold you, so you can hold your baby 〰️
At Birth Story Boutique, our postpartum doula team was built with one mission: to wrap your family in care, encouragement, and newborn care expertise during the tender first weeks and months after birth. Our doulas are carefully chosen for their warmth, wisdom, and professional trainings. Unlike larger agencies, we take the time to deeply match you with the doula whose energy and skill set feel just right for you and your household. We believe the postpartum season is not just about survival, but about helping you build confidence, joy, and connection with your baby. That’s why our team is trained to provide evidence-based support while honoring your family’s unique values, rhythms, and needs.
☀️ Daytime Postpartum Doulas
What They Do:
Provide hands-on newborn care and education (feeding support, swaddling, soothing techniques, safe sleep guidance).
Offer lactation and bottle-feeding support, including pumping and milk storage basics.
Prepare nourishing snacks and light meals to keep you fueled.
Tidy up baby gear, nursery spaces, and assist with laundry related to the baby.
Care for the baby so parents can rest, shower, or spend time with older siblings.
Offer emotional support, encouragement, and a listening ear as you process your birth and early postpartum experiences.
Share community resources and referrals (lactation consultants, pelvic floor therapists, mental health providers, etc.).
What They Don’t Do:
Full housekeeping unrelated to baby/parent care.
Babysitting older children without baby present.
Medical advice, diagnosis, or procedures.
Why Families Love Our Daytime Care:
Our daytime doulas are not just extra hands — they are guides, mentors, and nurturers. Unlike agencies that cycle through staff, our doulas invest in your family’s rhythm. You’ll feel seen, supported, and empowered, never rushed.
WHAT DOES A POSTPARTUM DOULA ON A DAY SHIFT?
🌙 Nighttime Postpartum Doulas & Night Nurses
What They Do:
Provide overnight newborn care so parents can sleep peacefully.
Bring baby to parent for feeds or handle bottle-feeding throughout the night.
Change diapers, soothe, swaddle, and resettle baby back to sleep.
Keep detailed notes on baby’s sleep/wake/feed patterns to support your daytime routine.
Support safe sleep practices and gentle nighttime rhythms.
Offer emotional check-ins at bedtime and reassurance when you wake.
What They Don’t Do:
Act as a nanny for other children during the night.
Perform medical or clinical tasks unless they are also a licensed nurse.
Replace parental bonding — instead, they support and enhance it by ensuring you are rested and confident.
Why Families Love Our Overnight Care:
Sleep is not a luxury — it’s survival. Our nighttime doulas give you the gift of deep rest, which allows you to recover physically, regulate emotionally, and be fully present for your baby during the day. Unlike many agencies, we guarantee consistency: you’ll see familiar, trusted faces night after night, not a rotation of strangers.
