The "fourth trimester" describes the first twelve weeks after birth. Your baby is adjusting to life outside the womb — learning to feed, sleep in longer stretches and regulate their body — while you are physically recovering from birth, often running on very little sleep, and adjusting emotionally to a new role.
It is also when many families feel the most pressure: feeding questions, nights with little sleep, older siblings who need reassurance, visiting relatives, and a household that still has to run. Many parents find that the support they planned for pregnancy and delivery ends at exactly the moment they need it most.
A postpartum doula fills that gap. Rather than focusing only on the baby, a postpartum doula cares for the whole family — helping the birthing parent rest and heal, answering feeding and newborn questions, and keeping the home calm so everyone can settle into new routines with confidence.
Postpartum doula placements use the same flat-fee structure as all of our placements. Placement fees follow our three flat-fee packages: Basic / Advise $1,500 + taxes (90-day replacement warranty), Standard $2,500 + taxes (6-month warranty, most popular) and Premium $3,500 + taxes (12-month warranty). A non-refundable $500 retainer activates the search and is deducted from the package total. We accept Zelle, Venmo and bank transfer.
| Role | Focus | Best time |
|---|---|---|
| Night nanny | Overnight feedings, diapering, soothing and a nightly log so parents can sleep. | Any time in the first year when parents need rest. |
| Newborn care specialist (NCS) | Specialized newborn training: sleep shaping, feeding plans, multiples, reflux and preemie routines. | The first 0–16 weeks, especially for first-time parents or twins. |
| Baby nurse | Hands-on newborn care, often 24-hour or overnight in the first weeks home. | Right after birth, for a few weeks to several months. |
| Postpartum doula | Care for the whole family: maternal recovery, feeding support, emotional support, sibling transition and light household help. | The fourth trimester — the first 12 weeks after birth. |
A postpartum doula supports the whole family after birth: maternal recovery, feeding support, newborn care, sibling transition and light household help, by day or overnight.
A baby nurse focuses on the newborn's care. A postpartum doula also supports the mother's recovery, emotional wellbeing and the family's adjustment.
Ideally in the second or third trimester so the search is complete before your due date. Short-notice requests are possible depending on availability.
Florida Medicaid coverage for doula services varies by plan and eligibility, so check directly with your plan. SLV Private Placements' placements are private-pay.
Our one-time placement fees are $1,500, $2,500 or $3,500 plus taxes, with replacement warranties of 90 days, 6 months or 12 months.
