Sibling Doula Services
What is a Sibling Doula?
A Sibling Doula can be the solution for your family. Many families having a new baby are without trusted family members living locally or even a babysitter who is willing to be “on call” for an extended time while you have your new baby. Sibling doulas are available to care for older brothers and sisters while their parents are focused on bringing the new baby into the world.
What is the difference between a sibling doula and babysitter? A sibling doula is more than a babysitter. Both care for the sibling(s), but are able to interact with your child in a way that can help them prepare for their transition to sibling-hood. A sibling doula can empathize with the child(ren) and talk them through anything they are feeling, especially if the sibling attends the birth.
