WE'VE GOT YOU
But hang on,
how does this work?
OVERNIGHT NEWBORN CARE
Fed, soothed, and settled, all night long, for every kind of family. You get to stay in bed all night while we're up with baby.
INFANT SLEEP TRAINING
Connection-based, not cry-it-out, and built around your baby's temperament. Available virtual or in-home. Bedsharing friendly and culturally sensitive.
DAYTIME POSTPARTUM CARE
An extra set of hands during the day, for the rest, the recovery, the chores, the advice, or just someone else in the room.
SERVING MAINE
Freeport, Cumberland, Portland, Scarborough, Saco, Kennebunkport, Wells, Ogunquit, Kittery, York, Cape Elizabeth, and beyond.
Reddit and Google aren't going to make you feel better when you have questions. You need a real Portland postpartum doula who knows what you're going through.
Right now, you might be running on no sleep, googling things at 2am, and wondering if what you're feeling is normal. It probably is. But also, nothing is really "normal," because every baby and every family is different. You don't need a script, and you don't need someone else's expectations for how this is supposed to go. Wherever you are in Portland, you need a real person who's done this before, who listens first, tells you the truth, and treats your questions like they matter. Whether it's the middle of the night or the middle of the afternoon, that's what you get with us.
"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
Portland Postpartum Doula
is Simple.
We know how precious and personal this season is, so we start with a conversation. No two families are alike, so we start with your habits, your worries, and what peace of mind looks like for you.
3x per week for 10 weeks
"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.
