Behind the Scenes with Gimme Sleep: A Doula’s Life as a Newborn Care Specialist

Overnight newborn baby nurse care to support families in early postpartum days

Being a Gimme Sleep doula and newborn care specialist means blending expertise with heart. It’s waking up before the sun or staying up long after it sets — soothing tiny cries, supporting new parents, and creating a calm, nurturing space.

It’s more than feeding, swaddling, and tracking sleep. It’s noticing the little things — like changing stale flower water or baking banana bread from forgotten fruit — to make families feel cared for in every way.

It’s empowering moms, supporting dads, and reminding exhausted parents they’re doing an incredible job. Each day brings new challenges and tender moments, but the reward is the same: watching families grow stronger, more confident, and deeply connected.
