How long does a postpartum doula spend with a family? What hours can I expect my Doula to work?
Doula support can last anywhere from one or two visits to more than three months. Some doulas work fulltime, with 9 to 5 shifts. Others work three to five hour shifts during the day, or after school shifts until Dad gets home. Some doulas work evenings from around 6 pm until bedtime, 9 or 10 pm., and some work overnight. Some doulas work every day, some work one or more shifts per week.
