Services

Here at HoneyMama Doulas we want to help make the transition with a newborn into your home to be as sweet as it can be. I want to provide the kind of care you want for your baby, while they're in my care.

Currently, I'm offering overnight services and also 2-hour infant care services during the daytime hours.

A typical night when I arrive will look something like this. Babies are unpredictable, so this is just a perfect case scenario. We will make whatever adjustments we need to.

**I will arrive at my designated time and check in with Mom and/or Dad to see how their and the baby's day went and any concerns they may have. I will find out when the baby needs to be fed next and if you want me to bring the baby to you for breastfeeding or if you want me to give them a bottle during the night. If the baby is asleep when I arrive, I will let them sleep until the next feeding, whatever time that will be. If the baby is awake and fed, I will change their diaper and get them settled for the night. After I get them settled for the night, I will plan to wash bottles and pump parts, wipe off the counters and do the baby's laundry. If the baby is unsettled during the night, those other chores might not get done as your/ their care is my first priority.

**At each nighttime feeding, I will change their diaper at the beginning of the feeding, either bring the baby to be breastfed or I will prepare the bottle, however you prefer. After the feeding, I will re-check the diaper to make sure they are good to go. I will swaddle them and get them ready to go back to sleep.

** In the morning, at my time of departure, I will hand the care off to a designated adult before leaving for the day. I will email a recap of the night before I leave in the morning as not to have to wake you fully to give you a report of our night.

I hope to offer regular daytime shifts, very soon. I'll keep you updated!

In addition to the overnights, virtual and texting support is also available.
