Overnight Postpartum Doula Services in Orange County & Los Angeles

Get the restorative sleep you need with expert overnight newborn care. Your night doula handles all nighttime feedings, diaper changes, and soothing while you rest and recover.

Why Overnight Postpartum Support
Changes Everything

Here's what nobody tells you about those first weeks: the sleep deprivation is real, it's relentless, and it makes everything harder.

You're trying to heal from birth while functioning on two-hour sleep chunks. Your body needs rest to produce milk, fight off postpartum depression, and actually recover. But your newborn needs to eat every 2-3 hours, and suddenly it's 4am and you're Googling "is it normal for babies to…" for the hundredth time.

Our overnight postpartum doulas give you something invaluable: actual sleep.

Not just a nap. Not "sleep when the baby sleeps" (because who can actually do that?). Real, restorative, 6-8 hour stretches of uninterrupted sleep while an experienced professional cares for your baby.

What Overnight Doula Care Looks Like

Your overnight doula typically arrives between 8-10pm and stays for a 10-12 hour shift.

You start with education and discuss babies cues, feeding support for the nighttime, first bath demo, and then you and the rest of the family will sleep and the doula will monitor and track all feedings and diaper changes along with infant behaviors allowing you to get the restorative sleep that is necessary for optimal physical and emotional well-being

What Your Night Doula Does:

All Nighttime Feedings

If you're breastfeeding, your doula brings baby to you for nursing, then handles the burping, diaper change, and settling baby back to sleep while you drift off again. If you're pumping or formula feeding, your doula handles the entire feeding from start to finish.

Diaper Changes & Soothing

Every diaper change, every wake-up, every fussy moment—your doula handles it with expert care and proven soothing techniques.

Sleep & Feeding Logs

Detailed tracking of all feedings, diaper changes, sleep windows, and any notes about your baby's night. You wake up knowing exactly what happened.

Gentle Sleep Rhythm Support

We help establish healthy sleep associations and patterns appropriate for your baby's age—no harsh sleep training, just gentle guidance toward better rest for everyone.

Nursery Care

Restocking diapers and wipes, organizing the changing station, preparing bottles for the next day, keeping the nursery functional.

Communication

We wake you only if necessary (nursing, concerns) and provide a complete report in the morning so you're never wondering what happened during the night.

The Benefits You'll Actually Feel

Better Physical Recovery

Quality sleep isn't a luxury—it's essential for healing, especially after C-sections or difficult births. Your body does most of its repair work while you sleep

Improved Milk Supply

Rest directly impacts milk production. When you're not exhausted, your body can focus on making milk instead of just surviving.

Reduced Postpartum Depression Risk

Sleep deprivation is a major risk factor for postpartum mood disorders. Consistent rest helps regulate hormones and mood.

More Patience & Presence

When you're rested, you actually enjoy your baby during the day instead of white-knuckling through exhaustion.

Partner Rest Too

Both parents get sleep, which means better teamwork, less resentment, and more capacity to support each other.

Confidence Building

Our doulas teach you their techniques—how they soothe your specific baby, what your baby's cues mean, what's normal vs. concerning. You learn while you rest.

Who Benefits Most from Overnight Support

C-Section Recovery

If you've had a cesarean birth, overnight support is a game-changer. You shouldn't be getting up repeatedly to lift and care for a baby while your incision heals.

Twins or Multiples

Managing multiple newborns through the night alone? That's not sustainable. Our doulas are experienced with coordinated feeding schedules and tag-team care.

Single Parents

Doing this solo means you never get a break unless you have help. Overnight support gives you the rest you need to show up for your baby during the day.

Returning to Work

Need to function at work? You can't do that on two hours of sleep. Overnight doulas help you return to work without being a zombie.

High-Risk Pregnancies or Difficult Births

If you've had complications, bed rest, or a traumatic birth, your body needs extra recovery time. Overnight support is essential, not optional.

Just Wanting to Enjoy This Time

You don't have to be struggling or in crisis to deserve help. Some families simply want to enjoy the newborn phase instead of surviving it.
