Postpartum is Better with Sleep, Showers & Support!
You just had a baby and your life has changed in an instant! Sleepless nights, recovery after birth, learning how to care for your baby all while trying to figure out how to be a mom yourself. And did we mention the constant feedings, diapering and feeling of tired and overwhelm?!
We know how difficult these first days, weeks, and months can be. But we believe that with support, education and a third pair of helping hands, this transition to parenting can be a more positive experience for everyone!
That's where a Postpartum Doula comes in!
The feeling of overwhelm is too much.
You feel you just can't even.
You just need some time for yourself and practice self care.
Everyone is obsessed with the baby and YOU need someone to see and listen to YOU.
You need someone to guide you or tell you that you are doing just fine.
Or when you just need some sleep.
We are here to support YOU in your postpartum journey.

She was receptive to our needs, what our routine was, what kind of extra help we needed. I called her my "safety net" and am so very thankful for her help transitioning us into our new way of life!”

What Parents Are Saying About Our Postpartum Doulas
"I have had the privilege of having using all the postpartum doulas from Baby Nest! The support and confidence they have given me towards taking care of myself and my little girl had been invaluable. They are very sweet and attentive and my daughter absolutely loves them." - Jen P.
"Our Baby Nest doula was incredibly professional, but also genuinely caring and warm. She understands that this is a tender situation for both mom and dad (as well as baby), and knows how to provide just the right amount of support."
-Scott
"Sherilee was a tremendous help as our Postpartum Doula! The primary benefit was stress relief (and sleep)! She boosted our confidence and helped us navigate the challenges of a new child.
Sherilee really helped us adjust to having a newborn and more importantly provided the support that my wife needed the most. My wife valued their conversations and her insights, compassion and information I could not provide.
Her help around the house made me feel like I was getting ahead and when I was done working for the day I didn't have to put in more work around the house. I could relax and enjoy the time with my family and eat the fresh food that she prepped for us. Stop considering a Postpartum Doula and sign up! Truly a tremendous help! "
- Alan, first time dad
