Overnight Newborn Care in Vancouver

Care is tailored to your family. Depending on your plan, an overnight shift may include feeding support, bottle preparation, burping, diaper changes, responsive soothing and settling, tracking sleep and feeds, and bringing your baby to you for direct feeds. If time allows light meal prep, baby laundry, newborn education, lactation support may also be offered.

Yes. Overnight care follows your feeding preferences and the plan you choose for your baby. During the consultation, you can discuss direct feeding, pumped milk, formula, bottle preparation, and how you would like overnight feeds handled.

Overnight newborn care is $50–$65 per hour with a five-night minimum. Your consultation is the place to confirm availability, scheduling, and the best care plan for your family.

No, Sasha & Co. does not provide formal sleep training. We support healthy newborn sleep foundations through responsive, age-appropriate care.

Traditional sleep training methods are generally introduced later in infancy, after the newborn stage. During our support period, we focus on:

• Understanding newborn sleep patterns

• Creating healthy routines

• Supporting calm bedtime practices

• Teaching parents how to read their baby’s cues

Yes, when appropriate, your postpartum doula may rest while your baby is safely settled and all newborn care tasks are complete.

Overnight postpartum care includes active support throughout the night, including feeding assistance, diaper changes, soothing, and settling. Once your baby is safely asleep and needs are met, your doula may rest while remaining available to respond to your baby or family.

Families choose postpartum doula support based on their recovery, feeding goals, and how much rest they would like during the newborn stage.

Common options include:

Occasional overnight support

• 1 overnight per week

• 8-hour shifts

• Continued for several weeks

Consistent postpartum support

• 2–3 nights per week during the first month

• Transitioning to fewer nights as baby and family adjust

Full overnight support

• 5–7 nights per week

• Longer overnight shifts available

• Ideal for families wanting maximum rest and recovery support

A night nanny/newborn care specialist and a postpartum doula both provide overnight newborn support, but postpartum doulas typically have specialized training in newborn care and postpartum family support.

“Night nanny” is a common search term families use when looking for overnight baby help, but the title itself does not have standardized training requirements. A “newborn care specialist” is often a nanny, caregiver, or early childhood educator that has extra experience with young babies and perhaps has taken a practical course. 

At Sasha & Co., our postpartum doulas are professionally trained and selected for their knowledge, experience, and ability to support the entire family transition — not just baby care.

Every Sasha & Co. postpartum doula:

• Has completed professional doula training or equivalent education

• Holds current Infant CPR-C certification

• Has completed a criminal record check

• Has been personally interviewed and approved by Sasha & Co.
