Fill My Cup Day

Fill My Cup Day is ideal for several situations:

• Emergency support: When you're feeling overwhelmed and need immediate help
• Partner returning to work: That first day alone with baby can feel daunting
• Family visiting: Preparing your home and meals before guests arrive
• After a challenging night: When sleep deprivation has reached breaking point
• Testing our services: Experiencing Fill Your Cup before committing to a larger package

We can often accommodate same-week bookings, subject to doula availability in your area.

While we recommend booking 3-5 days in advance for the best availability, we understand that postpartum needs can be urgent.

Our Doula Village model means we have multiple doulas available, increasing your chances of securing support even with short notice.

Absolutely! Fill My Cup Days are designed to be flexible. You can:

• Book individual sessions as needed
• Schedule multiple sessions with gaps between (e.g., one session each month)
• Combine with other packages (e.g., add a Fill My Cup Day to your First Forty Days package)

However, if you anticipate needing 3 or more sessions, our structured packages like First Forty Days or Fourth Trimester often provide better value and continuity of care.

We're happy to help you determine the best approach during your consultation.

Our FYC Mama Menu can be adapted for most dietary requirements, including:

• Vegetarian and vegan options
• Gluten-free modifications
• Dairy-free alternatives
• Specific cultural food preferences
• Food allergies and intolerances

Please inform us of any dietary restrictions when booking. Our doulas will discuss meal options with you and ensure the nutritional benefits are maintained while meeting your specific needs.

All meals remain focused on postpartum recovery nutrition - supporting tissue repair, energy levels, and milk production if breastfeeding.

We aim to provide consistency whenever possible, and our Doula Village model is specifically designed to ensure seamless care regardless of which doula supports you.

Here's how it works:

• Preferred doula: We'll try to match you with the same doula for multiple sessions
• Detailed handover: All doulas receive comprehensive notes about your preferences and needs
• No story repetition: You won't need to re-explain your situation each time
• Seamless care: All our doulas are trained in the same evidence-based approach

This ensures you receive consistent, high-quality care even if your original doula is unavailable.

Yes! We encourage partner involvement and can tailor the session to include them. Options include:

• Partner inclusion: Teaching partner feeding support, or newborn care
• Partner rest: Allowing both parents to rest while doula cares for baby
• Individual support: Focusing solely on mum while partner is at work or busy
• Family time: Helping the whole family feel more confident and connected

Our goal is to strengthen your support network and ensure everyone feels confident in their new roles.

Fill My Cup Day is designed for families with babies and children under 6 years old, including:

• Newborns (0-3 months): Feeding support, recovery focus, newborn care guidance
• Infants (3-12 months): Sleep support, feeding transitions, developmental guidance
• Toddlers (1-3 years): Managing multiple children, sibling adjustment, family routines
• Multiple children: Juggling different ages and needs while caring for yourself

Our doulas are experienced with all stages and can adapt the session focus based on your family's current needs and challenges.

Absolutely! Many families use Fill My Cup Day as a way to experience our services before committing to ongoing support.

Upgrade options include:

• Transitioning to First Forty Days or Fourth Trimester packages
• Adding birth support services for future pregnancies
• Booking additional Fill My Cup Days as needed

We'll credit your Fill My Cup Day investment toward any package upgrade booked within 30 days of your session.

This makes it risk-free to try our services and see if ongoing support would benefit your family.

We understand that life with a new baby is unpredictable. Our flexible cancellation policy includes:

• More than 24 hours notice: Full refund or free rescheduling
• Less than 24 hours notice: 50% fee applies, but can be rescheduled
• Emergency situations: Illness, baby's health issues, or family emergencies are handled with compassion and flexibility

We'd rather reschedule than have you stress about missing your session. Our priority is supporting you when you're ready to receive care.
