Postpartum

At Cradle & Coos, transparency and clarity are at the heart of everything we do. 

We operate on the belief that no two families' postpartum needs are the same. We also understand that each postpartum doula brings a unique set of skills. Some doulas excel in aiding mom’s recovery, others specialize in postpartum nutrition, and some are certified lactation counselors.

Therefore, during our intake process, we work closely with families to identify their specific needs, such as their existing support system, budget, and emotional readiness for the postpartum stage. Based on this, we match you with doulas who are the best-fit for your individual needs. ‍

So how can our doulas help you?

Regardless of their individual skill-sets, you can expect all postpartum doulas to be able to provide the following support:

- Newborn Care Techniques: Educating you on newborn care fundamentals, from bathing and diapering to swaddling and soothing.

- Feeding Assistance: Whether you're breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, or combining both, our doulas provide guidance to help establish a successful feeding routine.

- Emotional and Physical Recovery Support: Assisting with physical recovery and providing emotional support during the postpartum period.

- Sleep Strategies: Offering strategies to improve sleep for both you and your baby.

- Household Help: Lending a hand with light household tasks, such as meal preparation, laundry, and tidying up.

- Resource and Referral Assistance: Connecting you with local resources like lactation consultants, pediatricians, and parent groups.

All of our postpartum doulas, whether they work night or day shifts, are thoroughly qualified and vetted through our rigorous process, ensuring that you can place your trust and confidence in them with your newborn. 

Many families inquire about our doulas' hourly rates. While rates depend on each doula's level of training and experience, they generally range from $50 to $75 per hour.‍

…But it does not end there:

Your engagement with Cradle&Coos includes access to our holistic support model for up to six months post-birth. You can rely on our concierge specialists to connect you with additional services such as lactation consultants, pelvic floor therapists, massage therapists, and sleep consultants.‍

…And we offer around-the-Clock AI Support:

For an added layer of support, we offer Carrie, our AI doula, who is available 24/7 to answer your questions, helping you avoid those late-night Google searches and enter parenthood with confidence.
