Postpartum Doula
Your recovery is our priority.
From the day you book, your MILK doula walks beside you: meeting you before baby arrives, preparing your home with you, and then coming in after birth to care for your body, your baby, and your household as hands-on as you need.
Care starts at $35 per hour.

The MILK difference
What postpartum support with MILK really looks like.
This is so much more than hiring someone to come into your home. From the moment you book, we walk beside you, and your doula becomes part of your family before your baby is even born.
Your doula is there for everything you need.
- 01
Meet your doula before baby arrives
Long before your due date, you'll sit down with your doula, share your hopes and worries, and begin to feel like friends. So when baby arrives, the one walking through your door isn't a stranger. She's someone who already knows you, and already loves your family.
- 02
Baby 101, in your living room
With postpartum care, your doula comes to your home for a two-hour prep class. First-time parents sit with her and learn everything they need to about caring for and feeding their baby, including breastfeeding. If you've done this before, she spends the time getting your home ready: organizing the nursery and shower gifts, washing and sterilizing bottles, and setting everything up so you're ready to go the moment baby arrives.
- 03
Your parent portal, from pregnancy on
Once you book, the MILK Client Lounge opens to you. Learn about nutrition, belly binding, and gentle ways to heal your body, at your own pace, plus stay connected, view your schedule and follow our week-by-week checklist right at your fingertips.
- 04
We plan the meal train for you
We work closely with you during pregnancy and take the meal train planning off your plate, so friends and family know exactly how to show up and nourish you.
- 05
A plan for meals, siblings, and the nursery
Together we map out what you'll eat as you recover, how older siblings will be cared for, and how the nursery comes together, so nothing important is left to the last minute.
Care that pours back into you
A postpartum experience like no other.
Your MILK doula is not a stranger who appears after birth. You meet her during pregnancy, and with your postpartum care she comes to your home for a two-hour Baby 101 prep class, teaching first-time parents everything they need to know about their baby and breastfeeding, or, for parents who have done this before, organizing the nursery and shower gifts and washing and sterilizing bottles so you are ready the moment baby arrives. In the months before birth, your Client Lounge opens lessons on nutrition, belly binding, and healing your body, and we take care of planning your meal train and help you think through what you will eat and how older siblings will be cared for. Then, once baby is home, she comes back as family. She holds the baby so you can shower and sleep, sits beside you through hard feeds, helps with latch, pumping, or bottles, prepares something warm and nourishing, and restores a little order to the house. Your body is cared for too, with massage, warm foot baths, and water therapy as you heal. She is as hands-on as you need her to be, and she is there for everything you need.
While you're taking care of baby, we're mothering you.
