Nighttime Care Example
We’ve been in the thick of the postpartum season as well, and we know the toll this season can take on your mind, heart, and body. It is said that having a baby is the equivalent of running a 26 mile marathon. I can attest to that because I ran my first and only marathon. My body was so so tired after the run it was a grueling experience. Your body will be so tired after giving birth, I can also attest to that and it felt every bit like I ran 26 miles without running. What If you had someone to help you at home during the following days and weeks after giving birth? Wouldn’t that be fantastic? Below is a typical day you might experience when you invite us into your home overnight.
10PM - You say goodnight to your sweet baby after a conversation with your postpartum doula that lifted your spirits and assured you that you are the best mama. You go drift off to sleep easily knowing that she will care for your baby with gentleness and attentiveness so that you can get some much needed rest.
6 AM - You wake to the smell of baked bread or freshly brewed coffee while you slowly rise from a first deep peaceful overnight sleep since the birth of your baby. Your baby had been keeping you up at night so you hired Babymoon Concierge to help you at night at home. You’re a new mother and having educated support calms your nerves as you prepare for on maternity leave to end soon.
8 AM - Your baby is awakened for the morning, changed & brought to you for breastfeeding or bottle fed by an experienced newborn care specialist, night nanny, or postpartum doula. You hug the baby close because you missed them through the night while they slept.
9:30 AM - You have chosen to breastfeed and this journey started off strong as a gently reassuring hand correctly positions, supports your latch & encourages bonding with your babies.
10 AM - You wave goodbye to the much-appreciated support, and know that the tidbits of information she left you with— sleep schedules, feeding times, newborn hygiene— will help you care for your baby another day.
Essential Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Postpartum Doula or Newborn Care Specialist
Bringing a newborn home is one of life's most rewarding experiences, but it can also be overwhelming. Hiring a qualified postpartum doula or newborn care specialist can provide invaluable support, education, and peace of mind during the transition into parenthood.
Not all postpartum professionals have the same training, experience, or philosophy of care. Before hiring someone to care for your family and newborn, it's important to ask thoughtful questions to ensure they are the right fit for your needs.
1. What training and certifications have you completed?
Ask about their formal education, certifications, and continuing education. A qualified professional should be able to clearly explain their training and provide documentation if requested.
Questions to consider:
What postpartum doula or newborn care specialist training have you completed?
Which organization certified you?
Do you participate in continuing education?
May I verify your certification?
Tip: Unfortunately, not all certifications are legitimate. If you have concerns, contact the certifying organization directly to verify credentials.
2. Have you passed a criminal background check?
Anyone caring for your newborn should be able to provide proof of a recent criminal background check.
Ask:
Have you completed a criminal background screening?
When was your most recent background check performed?
Are you willing to provide documentation?
3. Are you currently certified in Infant and Adult CPR?
Emergencies are rare, but preparation matters.
Ask:
Do you maintain current Infant CPR certification?

When was your certification last renewed?

Experience often matters just as much as training.
Questions to ask:
How many years have you worked with newborns and postpartum families?
Approximately how many families have you supported?
Do you have experience with twins, triplets, premature infants, reflux, breastfeeding challenges, or special circumstances?

How do you handle differing parenting styles?
You want someone who respects your family's values while providing evidence-based guidance and education.

Your family's goals and concerns

Can I contact you with questions before delivery?
How are questions handled—phone, text, or email?

Illnesses and emergencies happen.
Ask:
Do you work with backup doulas or newborn care specialists?
How are backup caregivers selected?
May I meet the backup before services begin?
Will the backup have access to my family's care plan?
A professional should always have a contingency plan.

What are your rates?
Is a retainer required?
What payment methods do you accept?
