Frequently Asked Questions

Hiring a Postpartum Doula can be a new concept to many expectant parents. After serving over 2500 families in PDX we have had lots of questions about our service. Here’s a quick breakdown for those who are wondering how we help.

  • Most of our clients live in the greater Portland, Oregon, or Vancouver, WA metro areas. We also serve Beaverton, Hillsboro, Tualatin, Tigard, Wilsonville, Canby, Lake Oswego, Milwaukie, Mollala, Gresham, West Linn, Camas, Washougal, Ridgefield, Happy Valley, and Oregon City.

  • Earlier is better! The first few weeks are when you can benefit the most from having knowledgeable helpers in your home. Having a doula there the first couple days can make days 3, 4, & 5 (when your milk typically arrives) much more manageable, help partners and extended family understand how to make the best team of care.

    We also serve many families during 3-8 weeks, when babies tend to ramp up their fussy times.

    We generally wrap up care around the 3-4 month mark, but we customize this for each family.

  • Absolutely! Our Sleep Support helps parents struggling with sleep deprivation with their new baby/twins. We offer both overnight care as well as problem solving visits during the day (when your brain can plan!).

    We respond to babies sensitively and gently, and prioritize your parenting goals. Sleep support is the most requested service we have—book early if you can!

  • We do! You can purchase a gift certificate here.

Our Courses

Newborns can be really challenging to manage! Breastfeeding can be time consuming and often require support. Not being able to soothe a fussy baby can really shake your confidence. Couples can also really struggle with their teamwork—with so little support available. For all of these reasons, ABC offers in person and live virtual classes, as well as self paced online courses for families that want a class on their time schedule (like when their baby isn’t crying).
