Simply, as soon as you find the right fit for your family! Personality match is one of the most important things to look for when hiring a Doula so when you find someone who you click with and who has the right training and expertise it can be a match made in heaven and you should book that Doula ASAP! To avoid disappointment booking in your second trimester is usually advised. A doula may book up months in advance and many parents book their doula before their first scan, while others hire someone at the very last minute although between 18-20 weeks is usually when people start their search. If you have found a Doula you like and think would be a great fit, be sure to book them ASAP to avoid disappointment!

It depends. Many of our Postpartum Doula team are experienced with setting healthy sleep patterns for infants and can help with tips to maximize sleep and implement sleep routines, but every Doula has a different level of experience so it’s best to discuss this with your Doula match if that is something you will require.
