Postpartum Support
Postpartum Doula & Newborn Care Services
Bringing a new baby home is one of life’s most beautiful and most transformative experiences. At SoCal Doulas (formerly Inland Empire Doulas), we know that those first weeks and months can be filled with joy, discovery, and sometimes a little overwhelm.
Our Postpartum Doulas and Newborn Care Specialists provide steady, heart-centered support to help you settle into your new rhythm with confidence and ease. From hands-on newborn care and gentle education to emotional reassurance and rest support, we’re here to nurture your whole family as you find your footing together.
With SoCalDoulas by your side, you can focus on what matters most—healing, bonding, and embracing this sacred season of new beginnings.
If you know us, you know how much we value rest. At SoCal Doulas, we believe that sleep is essential to true postpartum recovery—not just for your body, but for your mind and spirit as well.
When parents are given the space to rest and recover, they gain the strength, clarity, and calm needed to nurture their baby with confidence and joy. Rest fuels connection—it allows you to be present for those early bonding moments, to care for your baby wholeheartedly, and to maintain balance and closeness within your family.
We’re here to help you find that rest, so your postpartum experience can be one of peace, renewal, and deep connection.
Daytime Postpartum Care
The weeks and months after bringing home your baby are a time of incredible growth, change, and adjustment. Our daytime postpartum doulas provide compassionate, hands-on support to help your family navigate this transition with confidence and calm.
Focusing on daytime hours (typically 9 a.m.–6 p.m.), your SoCal Doulas professional offers personalized postpartum care designed around your family’s unique needs. From practical newborn care—feeding, diapering, soothing, and establishing daily routines—to emotional support and gentle guidance, we’re here to nurture you as you recover and settle into parenthood.
Our doulas also assist with light household tasks to help create a peaceful, organized space that supports rest and healing. Whether it’s ensuring you get a nourishing meal, tidying the nursery, or helping you find moments to rest, our goal is to make your days smoother and your recovery stronger.
With SoCal Doulas, you’re never alone in the postpartum journey. We help you build confidence, care for your baby, and find balance as you embrace life as a new family.
