SIBLING DOULA SERVICES IN NORTHERN COLORADO

Your big kid(s) get their own person on baby day, too.

Birth doesn’t exactly RSVP. And “just call Grandma when labor starts” gets a little complicated when labor starts at 2am and Grandma’s in another state. Your sibling doula already knows your kiddo, knows the plan, and is on call when you need her. So while your whole world is changing, theirs still feels safe and familiar.

FREE CONSULTATION

A sibling doula is more than an on-call babysitter.

She starts building a relationship with your child before labor begins, learning their routines, personality, favorite things, and real feelings about this whole new-sibling situation.

Then when you leave to have your baby, they’re not being handed off to a stranger. They’re spending the day with someone they already know and trust.

MEET YOUR SIBLING DOULA

Allison has the first baby covered.

She’s a mom of three with 25+ years of experience caring for families, a certified full-spectrum doula, certified lactation counselor, Infant CPR certified, and a volunteer NICU cuddler right here in Fort Collins.

I WANT THIS FOR MY KID

THE SIBLING DOULA PACKAGE

One less thing to figure out when labor starts.

01.

02.

03. 1-Hour Planning Session

We’ll get to know your child, their routines, personality + needs, and make a plan for how they’ll be cared for while you give birth.

Weekly Drop-Ins Starting at 37 Weeks

Short 30–40 minute visits for play, conversation + connection, so Allison feels like a familiar face before baby day.

Priority On-Call Care

When labor begins, Allison is ready to step in and provide consistent care + support for your child throughout your birth.

The real luxury? Not wondering if your kid is okay while you’re having a baby.

You have enough happening in that birth room. You shouldn’t also be mentally calculating whether your toddler ate lunch, if they’re scared, whether Grandma found the pajamas, or how they’re handling the fact that Mom suddenly disappeared.

Your child is safe - and they feel safe. They’re cared for. Someone they know is paying attention to what they need. And you get to be where you are, having your baby.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT THE EFF-A-Q?

There’s definitely childcare involved, but sibling doula support incorporates the sibling’s unique experience of another baby joining the family. Plus, it starts before you go into labor. Allison gets to know your child ahead of time, learns their routines + needs, and understands what this transition might bring up for them.
Your sibling doula provides consistent care throughout your birth, whether baby makes a quick entrance or decides to take their sweet time. We’ll talk through the logistics + expectations (including naps + sleep routines) during your planning session so everyone knows the plan before labor starts.
Maybe! Family can be amazing, but they’re also emotionally invested in the birth and may want to be at the hospital themselves. A sibling doula gives you one person whose entire job that day is your child, so everyone else can be where they need to be.

Yes! If you want your older child to be part of the birth, your sibling doula can be there to support them through it. She can help explain what’s happening in age-appropriate ways, keep them comfortable + occupied, and step out with them whenever they need a break.

This package is built around caring for your child during labor + birth. Once everybody’s home and figuring out life as a family of four (or five, or six…), our Postpartum Doula Services can help with newborn care, feeding, recovery, older siblings + the general holy-shit-we-have-a-baby-again of it all.
Before you need one at 2am, ideally. 😅 Weekly drop-ins begin at 37 weeks so your child has time to actually know and trust their doula before labor starts. Book a Consultation and we’ll get the plan in place before baby starts calling the shots. Also, Allison books up quick, so the sooner the better!
