How it Works
We support new parents in Toronto through the night during the postpartum period. We help parents to develop good sleep routines and sleep hygiene from day one, leading to lasting family wellbeing and better sleep habits for the rest of childhood.
We only use responsive, gentle, and developmentally appropriate techniques to support infants to sleep, feed, and live well!
Families are responsible for providing a comfortable resting place for the doula (while the baby sleeps), a bassinet/crib, and baby gear (including formula and bottles, if using). We work together with families to adapt our care style to the family’s needs.
Providing exceptional care for babies through the night, we either take full charge for the night (including bottle feeding, washing pump parts, etc.), or we assist the new mother as needed with breastfeeding, latching, and dealing with pain or engorgement.
