At Hello My Doula, we understand that when a new baby arrives, older siblings also go through big changes. Our Sibling Support service offers caring guidance, fun preparation, and emotional space for your child(ren) helping them feel included, seen, and excited.
Sibling Readiness Visits: Meet as a family before birth to talk about what the new baby and birth experience will look like from a child’s point of view.
Playful Education: Use age-appropriate books, toys, and stories to introduce the concept of a baby sibling, how babies behave, and how older siblings can help.
Sibling Role Coaching: Guide siblings in meaningful, age-appropriate roles big sibling helper, gentle, kind, curious.
Emotional Check-Ins: Listen to any worries or questions, and give tools (games, drawing, storytelling) for siblings to express themselves.
Sibling Visit from the Doula: In the early days after birth, a doula comes to your home for a sibling-focused visit: reassurance, role modeling, and guided interactions.
Bonding Activities: Simple, child-led activities to help siblings bond with the new baby reading, singing, gentle play, safe holding (supervised).
Sibling Care Coaching: Support parents in helping older children safely interact with a newborn, including tips on holding, touching, and gentle involvement.
Emotional and Behavioral Guidance: Help siblings navigate their emotions from excitement and curiosity to jealousy or confusion through gentle conversations and reassurance.
Our sibling doulas provide attentive care for your older child at your home or in the hospital
while you focus on labor and birth. We support your child with warmth and consistency, helping them feel safe and secure during your absence.
We place great importance on maintaining your child’s daily routines, including meal preparation and feeding, bedtime support, changing clothes, bathing, and spending time together through their favorite activities and play. By keeping familiar rhythms, we help reduce anxiety and support emotional stability during this big transition.
Our doulas also offer gentle, age-appropriate explanations about what is happening, answering questions and providing reassurance through conversation, play, and calm presence. After birth, we support early sibling–baby connections with guided, supervised interactions and offer parents practical guidance on helping siblings adjust with confidence and care.
“Having her for those first six weeks changed everything. She kept my home calm, brought me snacks in the middle of the night, and taught me how to soothe my baby when I felt lost. I felt seen, supported, and cared for.”
Maria & Luis
“Seeing her calm yet playful presence while my older son met his baby brother for the first time was priceless. She gave him the space to be curious, excited, and even a little nervous and all of that felt fine and good.”
Janet & Daniel
“We didn’t know how hard it would be for our 4-year-old, but her sibling-support visits made things feel easy. He learned how to care for his sister gently, and now they are already building a bond.”
