At Fill Your Cup...

We believe the fourth trimester is just as important as the first three. Our expert postpartum doulas combine scientific research with nurturing care, ensuring you feel supported, rested, and empowered as you navigate this beautiful but challenging transition into motherhood.

What Does Postpartum Doula Care Look Like?

A postpartum doula provides non-medical emotional, physical, and informational support specifically designed for your postnatal journey. Unlike medical professionals, we focus on nurturing you and your family during this crucial adjustment period.

Newborn Care Education

Expert guidance on feeding, sleeping, soothing, and understanding your baby's cues, helping you build confidence in caring for your little one.

Emotional Support

A compassionate ear during moments of overwhelm, validation of your feelings, and reassurance that you're doing an amazing job as you adjust to motherhood.

Practical Support

Light household tasks, meal preparation using our scientifically-curated postnatal nutrition menu, and organizing your space to create a calm environment.

Referral Services

Connections to trusted healthcare providers, lactation consultants, mental health professionals, and other support services when specialized care is needed.

Partner and Family Support

Guidance for partners and family members on how to best support you during this transition, ensuring everyone feels confident in their new roles.

Our postpartum doula services complement our birth doula services providing comprehensive support throughout your entire journey into motherhood.

Benefits of Having a Postnatal Doula By Your Side

Research and our years of experience show that postpartum doula support provides:

  • Reduced stress and anxiety – Knowing you have expert support allows you to relax and focus on bonding with your baby

FAQ

We recommend booking your postpartum doula during pregnancy, ideally in your second or third trimester. This ensures availability and allows time for prenatal meetings to discuss your preferences and create a customised support plan. Early booking also gives you peace of mind knowing your postpartum support is organised.

The amount of support varies greatly depending on your individual needs, family circumstances, and recovery. Factors include whether you're a first-time parent, your support network, feeding method, and birth experience. We offer flexible packages and can help you assess your specific needs during a consultation. Contact usfor personalised guidance on what level of support would work best for your family.

Yes! Our postpartum doulas provide valuable breastfeeding support including positioning guidance, latch assistance, and troubleshooting common challenges. While we're not lactation consultants, we have basic training in breastfeeding support and can help with many common issues. When specialised lactation support is needed, we'll refer you to qualified professionals in our network.

No, postpartum doulas don't provide traditional babysitting services. Our focus is on supporting you as the mother while caring for your baby together. We're there to educate, guide, and nurture you during your postpartum recovery, helping you build confidence in caring for your baby rather than replacing your role as the primary caregiver.
