Welcoming multiples into your family is a joyous occasion, but it can also bring unique challenges, especially during the night. At Postpartum Bliss, our goal is to provide comprehensive overnight support that allows you to rest and recharge, ensuring you're ready to embrace each new day with confidence.

A Typical Night with Your Doula: Multiples Edition

Arrival and Settling In

As the evening unfolds, your doula arrives at your home, bringing a sense of calm and reassurance. After a warm greeting, she takes a moment to check in with you, discussing any updates or specific needs for the night ahead. Understanding the day's events helps her tailor the night's care to suit your family's rhythm.

Supporting Feeding Routines

Feeding multiples can be a complex dance, but with your doula's expertise, it becomes a coordinated and smooth experience. If you're breastfeeding, she assists with positioning, ensuring each baby latches comfortably, and offers gentle guidance to make tandem nursing more manageable. For bottle-feeding families, your doula prepares and warms bottles, feeding each baby with attentive care. Throughout, she maintains a detailed log of feeding times and amounts, keeping track of each baby's intake.

Mothering the Mother

At Postpartum Bliss, we believe in "mothering the mother." While you're nursing or pumping, your doula ensures you're comfortable, offering to refill your water cup and bringing nourishing snacks. She can also help you maintain a snack stash near your bed, so you have easy access to sustenance during those late-night sessions.

Soothing and Sleep Support

Once feeding is complete, your doula gently burps each baby and settles them back to sleep, using soothing techniques tailored to their individual needs. She remains close by, monitoring their rest and responding promptly to any signs of discomfort or waking, ensuring they feel secure and content throughout the night.

Parental Rest and Rejuvenation

With your doula caring for the babies, you have the invaluable opportunity to enjoy restorative sleep. Our doulas aim to provide you with the rest you need to conquer the day ahead. To facilitate this, your doula requires a comfortable space—a couch or bed—near the babies' bassinets, allowing her to be readily available while you rest undisturbed.

Light Household Assistance

Understanding that a tidy environment contributes to a peaceful mind, your doula assists with light household tasks as time permits. She washes and sanitizes bottles and pump parts, and if the night allows, helps with a load of laundry. However, the primary focus remains on providing exceptional care for you and your babies, ensuring all immediate needs are met first.

Morning Transition

As dawn approaches, your doula prepares a brief overview of the night's activities, including feeding times, sleep patterns, and any noteworthy observations. This information keeps you informed about your babies' routines and any adjustments that might enhance their comfort. She ensures that the nursery area is tidy, with supplies restocked, leaving your home organized and ready for the day ahead.
