Enter Grounded, Gentle Support for Your Fourth Trimester
The days and weeks after birth hold so much. So much goodness and sweetness of your new baby. And those days often hold lots of overwhelm, big emotions, and navigating your new body and self. At BWS Doulas, we honor this sacred time by holding space for you and your baby with warmth, unconditional support, and compassionate care.
Daytime or overnight care in 4–8 hour shifts, tailored to your family’s needs.
Gentle recovery support including nourishing meal prep, grocery runs, light household tasks, and a listening ear to process your birth or new parenthood journey.
Loving newborn care such as diaper changes, bottle washing, soothing, sleep support, and feedings, so you can rest or simply do what helps you feel most like yourself.
Expert guidance you can trust from doulas that have supported thousands of moms
Our Postpartum Care is a Soft Place to Land
Our doulas are trained and mentored by midwives and maternal health researchers, blending time-honored wisdom with the latest evidence. Whether you’re figuring out newborn sleep, wondering about milk supply, or navigating any other early-parent question, we’re here with answers, reassurance, and real in-home care.
Every BWS postpartum doula is trained in-house by April Kline, BWS Doulas co-founder, a midwife with over 20 years of experience, an IBCLC Lactation Consultant, and a skilled body worker specializing in mother-baby care.
Our doulas have direct 24/7 access to April for any questions that need a higher level of expertise, so you’re never left wondering or worrying. This means that when you welcome a BWS postpartum doula into your home, you’re also gaining a quiet, behind-the-scenes expert-level team that’s ready to help with anything that arises in those tender early weeks.
Coming Home to Your Own Intuition
Becoming a parent can feel like stepping into a whole new world, a world where everyone has advice, opinions, and “shoulds” about how to care for your baby. At BWS Doulas, we believe you already have the most important tool you’ll ever need: your own inner knowing.
Our postpartum doulas are here to help you reconnect with (or discover for the very first time) that deep, quiet voice inside that tells you what feels right for you and your baby. Through gentle guidance, shared knowledge, and space to reflect, we help you tune out the noise and tune into your instincts.
We’ll encourage you, provide quality information, affirm your choices, and help you trust yourself, so that by the time our work together wraps up, you feel not just supported, but deeply confident in your role as a parent. Because your baby doesn’t need a perfect parent…they just need you, fully present and trusting your own heart.
Postpartum Care for Mom
It’s gentle, hands-on care that helps release tension in your baby’s muscles and tissues which often eases feeding challenges, improves comfort, and supports healthy development and breastfeeding.
Having a postpartum doula with advanced lactation training means you have a skilled guide right by your side during those first feedings, helping you and your baby find your rhythm. Whether it’s adjusting a latch, easing discomfort, or simply sitting with you in the quiet hours, our team brings both expertise and a deep sense of care, so you feel held, supported, and confident.
These are the things we can do for mom:
- Provide Nourishing Meals Delivered Right to You at Home
- Pelvic Floor Therapy Support
- Processing the Birth Experience
-
Babies don’t come with instruction manuals but there is some new gear involved. From baby wraps and carriers, to bassinets, swaddles, strollers, and car seats, our postpartum doulas are here to help you feel completely at ease using however much or little you plan to utilize.
We will:
Guide you through baby wearing so you can keep your little one close and comfortable while freeing up your hands (and protecting your back).
Support safe sleep practices, helping you set up sleep spaces and providing sleep education and other resources that align with your family’s needs while ensuring safety and evidence-based information is always shared.
Demystify all the baby gadgets—whether it’s figuring out that tricky carrier buckle, learning how to use your breast pump, or getting the car seat clicked into your vehicle safely.
Helping You Feel Confident with All Things Baby
Our goal is to make everything feel second nature, so you can spend less time feeling unsure and more time enjoying your baby.
With a BWS postpartum doula by your side, you’ll have a calm, knowledgeable guide to help you feel capable, confident, and supported every step of the way.

You Don’t Have to Have It All Figured Out
Not sure how much help you’ll need or whether daytime or overnight care is best? You’re not alone. Many parents decide once they meet their baby and see what life feels like.
That’s why we offer a complimentary, no-pressure chat to talk through your options and design support that feels just right for you.
Some families start with two overnight shifts a week for the first couple of weeks to get a solid foundation of rest. Others love our 10% discount on 100+ hours and spread that care over several weeks for ongoing support. However you choose to begin, we’ll make sure you feel cared for, confident, and never alone in this new chapter.
Care for the Whole Family
Postpartum care isn’t just for the birthing parent, it’s for the entire family. When you have a BWS Postpartum Doula by your side, everyone benefits.
We make space for partners to feel confident, connected, and involved. By taking care of practical tasks and tending to the baby's needs, we free partners to be more present with the mother and the new baby. We offer gentle guidance on diapering, feeding, soothing, and reading baby’s cues, so both parents feel like an active part of this new chapter.
When the pressure is lifted from “figuring it all out alone,” couples often find they can focus on bonding, laughing, and finding their rhythm together, rather than feeling stressed or sleep-deprived.
We also hold space for siblings, grandparents, and other loved ones, helping them find their role and connection with the newest member of the family. Our goal is simple: to support the whole household so your home feels calm, connected, and full of love.
