That's easier said than done. New parents quickly learn to giggle when they hear this advice. From dishes to laundry and the ever-illusive shower, you have a to-do list a mile long when your baby sleeps. If only you had another set of hands!
Hiring a doula after your birth can be a lifeline to save your mental health and physical well-being.
Your postpartum doula is there for you and your family when you need them the most. You can expect only the best quality of care at Uptown Doula.

Feeling sleep deprived? Those first few months of the postpartum period can be exhausting as you and your baby begin to create a sleep schedule together. So we also offer overnight doula care when you need a good night's sleep. We'll stay with you all night long, so you can get the restful, quality sleep you need. Then, when your newborn baby wakes in the middle of the night, we are happy to feed them or bring them to you if you need to nurse them.
We offer infant feeding support, lactation counseling, and breastfeeding help so you can confidently feed your baby, however is right for you and your family. We’re happy to assist with formula feeding, pumping and navigating balancing going back to work and pumping.
