I am looking for someone to help me with my 6 week old baby. Right now my baby eats for a short time then falls asleep on the breast. When I try to put him down, he cries, and then I feed him again. I want to be able to read his cues and cries better, and want some assistance on some gentle ways to put him down for a nap. I don't need advice on the importance of slings and carrying him all day...I am looking for someone who leans more towards attachment parenting, but who understands the importance of a mom needing some time to do things, and not being a ''binky with legs'', and the importance of a baby not getting too in the habit of falling asleep at the breast. I definitely will not let him cry it out. So any recommendations for someone who might be able to help me and who shares my philosophy (mostly attachment, but wanting baby to sleep on his own for naps) and someone who can help me figure out how to get him to feed for longer, and how to interpret his cries and cues ! more effectively. I've read so many books (Baby Whisperer, Happiest Baby on the Block, No Cry Sleep Solution) and feel overwhelmed by the many different suggestions...Thanks! Oakland Mom

I can relate to being a human pacifier. I have a 5 year old daughter who was the same exact way. I also have a 17 month old daughter, who thankfully things are going better with. I too practice along the lines of attachment parenting, so we co-sleep and I also practice child-led weaning. When I made this decision with my 5 year old, I had no idea it would mean we'd be a nursing team for 5 years! I too read book after book trying to find solutions for my daughter who would prefer I take a nap with her and allow her to be latched on using me as a pacifier for her entire nap and through most of the night! The one thing I can tell you is every child is different, what works for one may not work for the next.

Knowing first hand, that some children are not ''text-book friendly'' and you can try everything under the sun with much disappointment, I have at least one suggestion that is directly tailored to your childs needs. I suggest you keep a diary/log of your babies daily activities: the time he wakes up; nurses; voids; naps; bathes; goes to bed, etc. This is actually easier than it sounds, especially once you get into a habit. It doesn't have to be detailed just simple entries. On days that he sleeps better, try to include notes/entries of what you've eaten as well. This practice can be helpful in so many ways as your child grows, it can help you recognize symptoms to illness, some people include entries of milestones as well, so you can also look at it as a type of journal. Once you have a pattern of your babies sleep patterns, you can start nursing your baby at least 1 hour before he typically falls asleep, this should help you read his cues too. It might be that he is falling asleep at the breast because he is more interested in sleeping at that time. If you try nursing him during the hour prior to his usual nap time, he may stay awake long enough to get a full nursing and fall asleep with a fuller tummy, and hopefully sleep longer. I have some other suggestions that I can share as well, but I think the above is probably one of the most helpful things you can do. I hope it helps! Sarah

August 2008

I am looking for a postpartum doula to help me out during September, primarily the first 2 weeks in September. I am 39 years old and my baby is due at the end of August. I live near the Mormon Temple in Oakland, near Lincoln Avenue. I need to find a doula who is sensitive to allergy/asthma issues since I've been having lots of asthma issues due to the pregnancy. Thanks much for any recommendations. Danielle

I highly recommend Sabine Henrie as a post-partum doula. She has amazing experience, is very conscientious and knowledgeable. You can contact her at SabineH@aol.com or by phone 510-843-2091. Happy with Doula

Nicky Tilsner of Cornerstone Academy of Doula Training & Childbirth Ed. can help you find a good postpartum doula. She can be reached at 510-689-8116 or online cornerstonedoulatrainings.com good luck D. Simone, Midwife

I can't speak to her availability, but Jen Spool offers wonderful postpartum doula services. She can be reached at 510-463-7266. anon

I would like reccomendations for a mom/baby nurse that you used post c-section birth. (The family member that was going to help out cannot, so while my husband is taking care of our toddler, I want some extra help in the hosptial.) I had amazing nursing care at Alta Bates post my first c-section but also had my husband. This time I am seeking a ''night nurse'' type of person. Pleaes let me know of any good or bad experiences you had with either nurses/doulas etc, what worked, what did not work, if you would do things differently. I am primarily concerned about the nights in the hospital but may have the person continue when I return home. Any and all reccomendations welcome.

I absolutely loved Sabine Henri. She was a wonderful post-partum doula after my c-section in November. Her number is 510 843-2091. catherine

Hi. We don't have much family help nearby, and we are expecting bundle of joy #2 in March. I'm wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a baby nurse that they could pass along? We are thinking of hiring someone for the first 6 to 8 weeks. How much does something like this cost? Thank you so much. Michelle

Tomi Knutson is an amazing post partum doula with a lot of experience. Her telephone # is 510-502-5799. Good luck with your second! anon

If by ''Baby Nurse'' you mean a postpartum doula, I have many recommendations! I am a birth doula & have facilitated groups for pregnant women & new moms & many of my clients/participants have had great experiences with them.

I just had a baby last month, and I am looking for a postpartum doula. Ellen Levitt was recommended to me. Does anybody have any experience working with her? anon

Wow. I didn't realize Ellen was back in the area. She is amazing. She was my midwife for both of my home births (daughters are now 5 and 8), and I couldn't recommend a more warm, loving, caring, and very dependable person. She is incredibly knowledgeable - we had a few challenges and she made us feel very supported. She had good relationships with many medical professionals, and always came back to us with great advice. You can't go wrong. Feel free to contact me with any further questions. -Dara dara

Ellen Levitt did postpartum care for me and my two babies (one born at 36 weeks) and I recommend her highly. She is warm, compassionate, responsible, extremely well-informed (as a retired homebirth midwife), and totally gets the situation of new motherhood from personal and professional experience. She delights in babies and their parents, and helped me appreciate my new arrivals even more than I did on my own. I don't know what your doula arrangement would include, but Ellen is also a fabulous cook. Edith

Ellen Levitt was the midwife who helped welcome our first child into the world, and we adored her (7 years ago) and still do! Ellen is utterly competent, grounded, and warm, and her longtime experience with homebirth gives her a thorough understanding of what a postpartum mama needs, even if the mama isn't able to articulate it clearly herself. I'd say you'd be blessed to have Ellen's gentle spirit around during such an important transition. dleto

Dec 2006

i will need a post-partum doula in june. i want someone who is warm and nurturing and someone who doesn't have an agenda. i'm open to any ideas but i want it to be a dialogue. i hear that some post-partum doulas cook as well. that would be a bonus. any recommendations would be appreciated anon

Three years ago Amy Meyer, an RN, was just starting out as a doula and she was just what I needed. A mother of three, without an agenda, gentle, super smart and loving! She ''suggested'' I nap, emptied my dish washer, made me food, sorted through some boxes (for some reason this task seemed urgent to me at the time) and played with my 3 year old. Hopefully she is still at this email address: amymeyer[at]comcast.net LSG

We worked with Stacia Biltekoff, and I bet she is the doula for you! She is awesome with babies, and great to be around. Her contact info is staciadoula[at]yahoo.com Happy Stacia client

I just wrote an unsolicited reccomendation for my post-partum doula, Mandi Dean, last week. It was a long and glowing reccomendation and I think you should be able to find it in the recent BPN archives. Mandi is beyond wonderful. Her e-mail is: sweetpea02360[at]yahoo.com Marianna

Warm, nuruting post partum doula, no agenda: Jenny Goyne. I was looking for precisely same as you and found it in Jenny. I can't say enough good things. I didn't ask her to ''cook'' per se but she made sure I was always fed and hydrated and even shopped for what I wanted (she makes a mean turkey and avocado sandwich). Here is what I have for her: jgoyne[at]sbcglobal.net; emilyandbrian

There was a request for a post-partum doula, and perhaps for one who might know how to cook. I have a perfect idea for you, a friend of mine who is the most empathetic person I know, a chef, and a doula who enjoys post partum the most. Her name is Michele Bloom, and her number is 559 8989. She lives in Berkeley, and I would trust her with any concern! She was the first adult my kindergarten son ever agreed to be with , without me. frieda

Oct 2006

I'm looking for a current recommendation for a post-partum doula. I've checked the archives and the latest information is from 2004. I don't need a doula at the hospital since I am having a c-section (alta bates), but would like a doula after the baby is born. I have a 9 year old with special needs, so it's been a long time since I cared for a newborn. Thank you! a worried mom

For the doula requests--- I wanted to recommend Michele Bloom, a doula (both for birth and post-partum) and mom of 2 boys in elementary school with my kids. Michele is one of the very most empathetic people I have ever known in my life! She is knowledgeable and intuitive and just wonderful with kids,as well as with us parents. I just recommend her so much!! My phone is in case you have preliminary questions. Frieda

I also had a planned C Section and pre-arranged a doula to help me. I used Jenny Goyne who is based in Berkeley. She was terrific and I would gladly talk to you more about what I liked about her as well as my search (I talked to several before selecting her). At the time she was slightly more affordable than her peers which was great although I don't know whether that's still the case. Based on my experience, I think she would be great with your 9-year old. She's an incredibly gentle, warm and compassionate person. And she has a real knack for figuring out what help you need. Again, feel free to contact me if you like. It's a highly personal decision. Best to you. emilyandbrian

I'd call Stacia Biltekoff . She was my doula a year and a half ago for the birth of my daughter, and has since started doing post-partum doula work. In her post-partum visits with me (as part of her birth doula services) she was amazing and really helped me settle in to live with a newborn. Good luck! Sofia

June 2006

My husband and I are looking for someone to help us during the first week or two after we bring our baby home. We already have a toddler and really want to make this as smooth a transition as possible for everyone. I am not completely sure as to what kind of help we will need! Possibly someone to stay the first few nights? And then someone to come in during the day. Maybe do some cooking? Please weigh in with any advice or suggestions as to where, when and how much help we should really plan for! We have no family here to help out this time, so it will pretty much just be my husband and I trying to manage! And of course I am looking for names and numbers of doulas you recommend. Thanks. RK

We worked with Jennifer Starling (jenstarling@yahoo.com) and Treesa McLean (treesa.mclean[at]sbcglobal.net), and both were excellent. They truly saved our lives. Both do both day and nighttime work. How much help to plan for? As much as you can possbily afford! We found nighttime help to be especially useful for us, and having someone there the night we got home from the hospital was a huge relief. Good luck!

Carolynn Melchert is an angel of compassion and has decades of experience as a mother and doula. Ann

I used a Postpartum Doula when my 2nd was born. Her main job was to make sure that my needs were taken care of. She cleaned, she did laundry, she made sure I had eaten and had slept, she helped me with nursing, she was great! I felt pampered even in my state of total exhaustion. She wasn't a ''nanny,'' though, it wasn't her job to watch my kids, although she did carry the baby in the sling while I slept, and my husband took care of our older child. I used Paula Santi, she's at doulapaulasanti[at]yahoo.com and she's fabulous!!! Jill

Sept 2005

I'm a first time mom-to-be and am looking for a post partum doula to help me out in October. Has anyone recently worked with someone they like, and does anyone know what the range of possible prices and services generally is? I don't know what the baby will be like yet so I'm not sure what kind of support I'll need. thanks much in advance. cc

Hi! I would like to recommend our postpartum doula Ann Regan Haynes! She was wonderful!!! We were first time parents last October, 2004 and it was the best investment we made. She helped me in those early critcal days with breast feeding positions and information. And I know that with the inital difficulties I experienced latching our baby girl on correctly that without that personal help at our home I would have given up. I was having back and neck pains, as well as tenderness and soreness of the nipples. But having the right coaching made all the difference! I am still breastfeeding our almost one year old daughter today.

It was also important to have the extra help at nights those first weeks. I remember so clearly the fourth night home, the baby was crying all night and we just didn't know what to do. She had been so sweet and calm prior to that night. I was exhusted and my husband stayed up all night walking her--but we knew we could make it since Ann was coming in the next night.

The most amazing thing was when Ann came in the next night, not only could we rest but she understood what was agiating our baby and calmed her right away. We started calling her the ''Baby Whispher''. It was amazing to have our sweet baby girl back again. Ann helped to keep us on track and was a valuable resource for ideas and suggestions.

We were fortunate to have Ann with us for quite a lot of the first four months, as a gift from the grandparents. She taught us so much, especially how to listen and engage our baby, as well as baby massage which was great! The massages helped with everything from digestion, sleep, developing strength and coordination, to a generally happier baby. In our case, our baby started teething very early at three months and the massages helped a lot with the pain. We still give her massages, especially my husband and you can really see the enjoyment in our baby's face as well as in her body language.

email: anndoula at yahoo.com.

We had talked with other doulas at the time, but found Ann's experience, recommendations, and rates to be very reasonable for the berkeley bay area. We hope to have another baby in a few years and will definitely want Ann again! We were able to enjoy the newborn stage of our baby because we weren't super stressed out all the time. I would highly recommend having some help for at least a few nights, more if that is an option. Best of luck in your new baby! Lucie

My childbirth instructor Sabine Henrie is doing post-partum doula work. Though she was not my doula I would highly recommend her. She's patient, sensitive, caring, and very knowledgeable. sabineh at aol.com Sierra

I am seeking some postpartum support for the end of August. Many of the postings for doula recommendations are outdated. If you have had a great experience with a postpartum doula, I would love any information. I am in the east bay. Thanks!

I want to recommend Ann Haynes as an outstanding postpartum doula. An is warm, caring, knowledgable and experienced in all aspects of perinatal care. She helped me and my husband through 2 days of labor: then assisted me with breastfeeding, baby care and bathing, taught me to massage my beautiful little girl, and made delicious meals for us. She cared for me like my own mother who could not be with me at this important time. Ann helped me so much with my transition to motherhood! I highly recommend Ann and you can contact me if you have any questions. Senay

I have a great postpartum Doula - her name is Ann Haynes. She worked with me about 3 nights per week for the first 5 weeks of my son's life. He is now 4 months old. She was caring, knowledgeable and very easy to have around. Also, she is certified in infant massage which is a bonus! I have only good things to say about her - and I really don't think I would have survived those first weeks without her help. If you are interested, you can call her or e-mail her directly @: anndoula AT yahoo.com Hope this information helps. koebels

I would like to recommend Ann Haynes as a wonderful Doula (both birth and postpartum). She attended the birth of my daughter 3 months ago and helped make it a wonderful experience!! Ann is a very warm, loving person and has a very calm demeanor that is very comforting while in labor. My husband and I met with Ann several times before the birth so she really got to know us. During these meetings, we discussed my expectations for the type of birth I would like. We also discussed different birthing positions and what, in particular, I felt comfortable with. Ann stayed with me throughout the entire labor. My labor was about 14 hours long (5 of which was pushing)and she stayed with me, gave me massages, and encouraged me the whole way through. I cannot say enough good things about her. We have also had the luxury of seeing her in action taking care of the baby. She is even more warm and loving with children. She has a special type of interaction with children and I trust her full heartedly with my kids. If you would like to contact Ann Haynes directly her contact information is: anndoula at yahoo.com. Feel free to also email me if you would like more information. Anita

I had Ann Haynes as my Childbirth Doula and she also helped us out with post-partum baby care. She is fantastic. I selected her card from the corkboard in Waddle and Swaddle, completely randomly. I couldn't be happier. She is a very gentle soul and listened carefully to every concern. She is primarily responsible for me chosing to have a natural birth (what an experience). I couldn't recommend her more highly. She can be reached at: anndoula@yahoo.com Erin

July 2004

I'm looking for a post partum Doula in or willing to go to Contra Costa County to help me for a couple of weeks after the birth of my second child in early December. Thanks! Tracey

Hi...I would like to recommend Beth Hammond. I conduct workshops for new mothers of twins, and she has worked for many of my clients. Karen

Jan 2004

Hello everyone, We are looking for a doula (to help with delivery) and a ''postpartum doula'' or ''baby nurse'' for the first 2 weeks. I hear so many different terms! :) I have read all of the postings for recommendations, but am looking for more recent referrals for San Francisco. I would like someone who is of course incredibly competent and knowledgeable, but who is also very compassionate and nurturing. Any recommendations for doulas/baby nurses who work in San Francisco would be so greatly appreciated. Thank you so much- Cindy

I have posted this before: Joan Taylor was our doula for birth and post-partum. She was fantastic -- Joan has many years experience as a doula (she also has a yoga background, and has a grown son). To put it simply, she absolutely saved me in my labor. I went into labor at 33 weeks, and my husband and I had only met with Joan in our interview with her (and had taken no birthing classes yet). Because the Drs were attempting to stop my labor, I was directed to be on ''bed rest'' (e.g. I was not allowed to get up, or move, at all). Joan arrived at the hospital and helped me to go from 0 to 7 centimeters in about 4 hours, only being able to use my breath and my voice (as the Dr's were dealing with other emergencies, and no one was available to come by and check me -- Joan pushed to get the Dr's to come, and when they finally did my baby's foot was in the birth canal and I had an emergency C-section). I could not have survived that labor without her -- she was able to help me to use what I had available, to work with my body -- it was AMAZING. Additionally, she did postpartum work with us when my premature baby finally came home from the hospital a month later (and he came home small, and on a heart monitor). Our family was under an incredible amount of stress, and she helped support me through my own healing, helped me with breast feeding, helped us eat/organize/sleep, and helped us to find ways to maximize the contact and love we were able to give to our son. She also really loved our son and encouraged us to see how strong he was and how great he was developing (at 9 mos he is doing super now). She really was essential to our survival. She's a wonderful person to spend time with, is extremely compassionate, and also has excellent advice and counsel for a birthing mom, or a new mom. She actually lives in Oakland, but she has worked in San Francisco. I would call her! (510) 482 8927 or (510) 390 1737 vh

Look no further than Esther Gallagher. She rocks. She does both delivery and postpartum, and in fact prefers to do both for the continuity of care. She's completely about taking care of the mommy (and to some extent the daddy) so mommy can figure out about taking care of the baby. She saved me from having a C- section; she got my breast-feeding started smoothly; she whipped unhelpful visiting family members into shape (if you don't like them forthright, you won't like Esther); she helped me and my husband through the stress of sleepless new parenting. Her number is 415-821-4490. heidi

April 2003

have looked at the website recommendations for postpartum doulas, and find that they generally describe people available to help with daytime care, including cooking, light cleaning, and some baby-holding. Has anyone hired a *night nurse* instead -- someone whose only job is to take care of the baby at night so you can rest, bringing the baby to you only for feedings? If so, I'd love to hear some recommendations (or anti-recommendations), and to know how this worked out for you. Thanks!

It can be very difficult to uncover resources postpartum. On my site, I have a section called Community Resources and I try to keep it up to date for the East Bay. This is the link to a section on Postpartum Care, including night nurses. http://www.supportgroupformothers.com/communityresources2.htm

I can give you some feedback about some of these people but would prefer to do it privately. Sherry Reinhardt sherryr AT there.net

We have a night nurse, and I can't recommend it highly enough. Getting enough sleep is so important to me, and our nurses (we have two that trade off nights) are incredible. They settle the baby when she's fussy, feed her from a bottle if I've pumped, change her diapers/clothes when needed, and generally give her lots of love and attention. Mine have brought a huge library of parenting/baby books for me to look at, and have even suggested chapters/articles on subjects that I might be interested in. They keep a nighttime log of when she eats, when her diapers are changed, if/when she was fussy, so that I can keep tabs on everything. They are available to do laundry and cleaning when the baby is asleep, too. In general, very flexible regarding timing (coming early some nights so that my husband and I could go out) and duties. Best of all, they are incredibly caring people, who have been a real joy to know. Their names are Katy Remley and Christina Bernard, and they work through Bay Area Baby Nurses and Doulas. Good luck ellensfraser

December 2002

I am due with my first baby on January 8, 2003 and am looking for a post-partum doula to help out a couple of hours a day for a few weeks. I am hoping for help on a range of things, such as giving my baby his or her first bath, breastfeeding tips, and laundry. I have consulted the website, but there are only 2 recommendations and they are over 4 years old. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks for your help. Sharon

We had our first baby in June 2002 - Treesa McLean was both our labor doula and postpartum doula. She is incredible!!! Treesa has tons of experience - she has been a doula for many years. Among the many descriptives I would use for Treesa - she is extremely knowledgable, calm, kind, and caring. She has a great sense of humor and is as accomodating as possible within the constraints of her busy schedule. She is extremely responsive and can be paged. She assisted me when my milk came in (she's a wealth of knowledge in treating sore breasts and positioning the baby for maximum comfort and latching), taught me how to use the medela breast pump, taught us how to give the baby a bath, reassured us that ''everything was going OK'' (HUGE for new inexperienced parents!!)after we came home from the hospital, made sure we had fresh healthy hot meals, and answered questions too numerous to list. I recommend Treesa without hesitation. Ruth

I would highly recommend Lucia Maya as your post-partem doula. She came recommended to me by a trusted source and when I called her references, they were excellent. Lucia is an incredibly warm, caring, competant and intuitive woman. She's been raising children of her own and has a great deal of experience working with post-partem mothers (she also runs a new mothers' group). Lucia is the kind of person that you like immediately and who will come into your home and do exactly what you want her to do with few if any questions asked. If you're too busy to outline things for her, she'll look around and dive in (including making lunch for you when you are too busy to stop and eat). I found her to be an incredibly helpful, gentle and positive presence for both me and my new baby (my baby absolutely loves Lucia). Her contact information is below. Lucia Maya luciamaya24 at yahoo.com Rita

Birthways is a wonderful resourse for finding labor and postpartum doulas, as well as other birth services. You can check out their Web site at www.birthways.org; while you aren't getting a recommendation directly from a parent, you can call several of those listed and get a feeling for them over the phone, in addition to getting references. Congratulations and good luck! Laria Pippen, Postpartum Doula threepippens at earthlink.net

My friend Samantha does pre and post doula work. I'm not sure what her availability is, but if you can get her, you'll thank your lucky stars. She's the kind of gal who you want to say ''Oh my goodness, Stop! You're doing too much!'' to, but you won't because you're so pleased with all that's getting done. (She also does work as an organizer.) She's a great cook, a good listener, and a kind soul. Contact her at lezelda at att.net. Graham's mom

Oct 2001

I am expecting in December and want to hire a baby nurse for the first two weeks after the birth. This is something we did in New York with our twins and having our baby nurse at the house was a godsend. The basic duties were to take care of all of the baby's needs in terms of changing, washing blankets and clothes, bringing the baby to me to nurse at night (she sleeps in the room with the baby), and if not nursing, sterilize bottles and feed the baby. It is very common to have someone like this in New York, so much that there are agencies solely dedicated to providing baby nurses. I have not seen anything like that publicized in California but wonder if I am just not looking in the right place. Does anyone know of an agency that provides baby nurses or a baby nurse who works on her own in the Bay area? Shannon

... I know others who have hired Lucia Meager as a post partum doula (cooking, cleaning, holding baby, doing whatever is needed to give mother rest and peace of mind) and were grateful that they had Lucia in their lives after the baby was born....

March 2001

I highly recommend Jeanne Racik as a Labor Support/Postpartum Doula....

I would like to recommend Lisa Moon for a post partum doula. Lisa has worked with my son, a fussy premature newborn (now 9 weeks old) and has truly helped us understand his needs....

Oct 1998

After I had my baby I would have been lost without the woman I found through Alta Bates maternity ward nurse recommendations -- they all raved about Carol Egan and she proved to be everything they said she was. I was on bedrest because of a complicated C-section and she took care of my baby (who was preemie), the house, the meals, all errands, you name it and she did it. She was great. She is extremely reliable and has a 6 year old that she raised alone so she really knows about infants. I hope all goes well for you and your family. Linda

I used Linda Jones-Mixon. She is unbelievably wonderful. She is kind, gentle and has a great sense of humor. I recommend her without hesitation to all who ask and know 3 or 4 who have used and loved her as well. I will be using her for my second child due in April. Linda
