Surrogate
Postpartum
Doula

Your path to your baby looked different, and your postpartum support should account for that.

We proudly provide culturally sensitive, LGBTQ+ affirming, and multiracial family support, because every family deserves to feel cared for exactly as they are.

WE'VE GOT YOU

But hang on,
how does this work?

JUST IMAGINE...
OVERNIGHT NEWBORN CARE

Fed, soothed, and settled, all night long, for every kind of family. Availability doesn't depend on who's on the birth certificate.

INFANT SLEEP TRAINING

Connection-based, not cry-it-out, and built around your baby's temperament. Available virtual or in-home, no assumptions about who's doing bedtime.

A VETTED TEAM

Every doula is in-person interviewed and background-checked before they're ever in your home, and shares these same values.

DAYTIME POSTPARTUM CARE

An extra set of hands during the day, for whoever needs the rest, the recovery, or just someone else in the room.

LANGUAGE THAT FITS

You may see words like "maternal" or "mother" elsewhere on this site. That's the language of my own family, not an assumption about yours.

NO ASSUMPTIONS

No assumptions about your family structure, who carried your baby, or who's "the parent." We ask, we listen, and we follow your lead.

We're going to take the time to understand your family dynamic and use your correct pronouns.
We're not going to bring judgement or weird questions.

Too many new parents spend their first vulnerable weeks correcting pronouns, explaining who's who, or bracing for a comment that shouldn't have to be braced for. That's exhausting on top of everything else a new baby already asks of you. We're here for single parents by choice or otherwise, and for families of every gender, race, identity, sexuality, and structure. We're students of this work, always learning and unlearning right alongside the families we serve, and we'd rather be corrected than assume.

"Working with Sunny Side was an absolutely A+ experience. As first-time parents we moved very carefully picking out a company we felt comfortable with for overnight visits. As soon as we talked to these women we knew it was the right fit. Thanks to Amy, Jillian and team for being so accommodating."

Finding a

"We were so lucky to find Jillian to support us overnight postpartum. She solved some of our most challenging sleep problems and ensured we all got some much needed rest. Jillian is an excellent advocate for the entire family, instilling confidence in new parents and arming you with strategies and resources to support your baby (and yourself!). Best of all, she prepared us to succeed even when she wasn't with us. We can't recommend her enough!"

YOUR SUPPORT SYSTEM NEEDS ANOTHER ARM

The Care You Need for Your Postpartum Season

The number one thing we hear from families after working together is,

"I wish all of my friends had a Postpartum Doula."

​

You deserve the rest. Your questions deserve answers that don't come from Google. And this season deserves to be remembered for the good parts.

FOR THE TIRED PARENTS

Overnight Newborn Care

We're carrier mammals. Your baby wants to be held, and that's exactly why you're tired. We're up all night, feeding, soothing, and settling your baby back down so you can finally sleep.

SO YOU CAN JUST BE THE PARENT

Daytime Postpartum Support

An extra set of hands during the day for feeding, soothing, light household help, or just someone to talk to while you rest. You're not hosting us, so don't even think about cleaning up before we get there.

BECAUSE YOU'RE DONE GUESSING

Available virtual or in-home. This is NOT cry-it-out. Babies cry to communicate, and we accept big feelings here. Co-sleep and bedshare friendly, breastfeeding friendly, built around your intuition.
