Professional Postpartum Doula Care for Rest, Recovery, and Confidence
The postpartum period is beautiful, emotional, and exhausting, and many parents quickly realize they need more support than they expected. Long nights, physical recovery, and the constant needs of a newborn can feel overwhelming, especially when rest feels out of reach. If you’re searching for an overnight postpartum doula or a postpartum doula near you, you are not alone - and you are in the right place.
Bloom Baby Bloom offers professional postpartum doula support throughout Wilmington and Southeastern NC, with a special focus on helping parents rest and recover during the early weeks after birth. As postpartum doulas, our care is centered on supporting you, because when parents are supported, families thrive.
Backed by my nearly three decades of nursing experience, we provide evidence-based postpartum care tailored to your family’s needs. Postpartum doula services include overnight support, daytime newborn care, feeding assistance, education on normal newborn behavior, and gentle guidance on infant sleep and soothing. Overnight support allows parents to get much-needed, uninterrupted rest while knowing their baby is cared for safely and attentively through the night.
Postpartum care is not just about newborn help - it is about protecting the parents’ physical and emotional well-being. Whether we are caring for your baby overnight, answering questions during early morning hours, or offering reassurance during emotional moments, our goal is to help you feel calm, confident, and supported in your own home. Every family’s values, choices, and rhythms are respected.
Bloom Baby Bloom also offers newborn education classes to help parents feel prepared before baby arrives, covering feeding, realistic sleep expectations, soothing techniques, and postpartum recovery. Pediatric sleep consulting services will be available early 2026.
If you are searching for an overnight postpartum doula near Wilmington, NC, Bloom Baby Bloom is honored to support you during this tender season—so you can rest, heal, and feel confident as your family grows.

When I met Lauren, I told her about my anxiety and how being in the hospital brings me lots of worry and stress. She sat next to me and talked to me about my fears and anxiety. She was there for all my contractions, helping me find more comfortable positions. When it came time to push, I could not ask for a more compassionate nurse in the most vulnerable and special time in my life. She made me feel like a superwoman and made me believe in myself. She gave me my peaceful dream birth.”

“I cannot recommend Lauren Bates highly enough as a doula! From the very beginning, she was such an incredible source of knowledge, encouragement and reassurance. She helped me feel prepared for birth in ways I never would managed on my own, and she was always available to answer my questions - big or small - without hesitation. Having Lauren as my doula was one of the best decisions I made for my pregnancy and birth. She is compassionate, knowledgeable and truly dedicated to the families she supports. I’m beyond grateful for her and would recommend her to anyone looking for a doula who goes above and beyond.”

Lauren is a reliable support person who I was lucky enough to have support me as both my L&D nurse and my postpartum night doula. As a first time mom, I was so grateful to have a seasoned mother and nurse supporting me in some hard times with a preemie newborn. She is fully vaccinated, which was a good fit for our family. She also works at the hospital so she’s extremely skilled and knowledgeable on all things for mom and baby, and updated on the ever-changing medical recommendations. Outside of her nurse skills, she is a positive, lovely person you’d be lucky to welcome into your home. She would go above and beyond, doing our laundry and cuddling our pup. If we had a bigger budget for doula services, we would have kept her on a for a few more months!”

"Lauren is an incredible asset in the postpartum period. Her calm demeanor, warm affect and comforting personality are just some of the qualities that make her a great doula. She's easy to trust and takes excellent care of everyone. I keep thinking about how my other postpartum experiences would have been so much better with her involvement."
