Today, myself and another Postpartum Bliss doula-Hannah, are heading out for a prenatal visit with a family whose baby will be arriving via C-section next week 🤍
They’ve already set themselves up for support by booking 42 nights of overnight care with Postpartum Bliss, covered through their employer benefits using Carrot Fertility.
* If you’re pregnant, it’s worth checking your own benefits, a lot of families don’t realize postpartum doula support can be included!
We’ll also be bringing baby Rosie, our weighted, realistic newborn doll, so we can walk through basic newborn care in a hands-on way. This helps families feel more confident before baby is here. We’ll cover things like safe sleep, soothing, diapering, feeding basics, and what’s normal in those early newborn days.
During overnight support, our role is to take the weight off parents, especially during recovery. We care for baby throughout the night, responding to wake-ups, diaper changes, soothing, and feeds. If a parent is breastfeeding, we bring baby in to nurse and support mom with positioning, water, and snacks. If bottle feeding or pumping, we handle feeds and clean bottles and pump parts. We rest when baby rests, staying close so parents can truly sleep knowing their baby is being cared for.
Prenatal visits are where we tailor everything to the family, their preferences, their recovery needs, and what will help them feel most supported once they’re home.
The Postpartum Bliss team will be alongside this family throughout their postpartum and newborn journey, offering calm, consistent overnight care so they can focus on healing, bonding, and finding their rhythm as new parents.
Just relax and get some rest- we've got the night shift covered 😉
