[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks everyone. We are planning to hire a         post-part um doula for 2-3 nights ( 8 hours) a week and 2-3 days ( 5-6 hours) for the daytime. I love my baby and I enjoy spending time with him, but I suffered from a mild form of fibromyalgia. I’ve been having a lot issues with sore muscles and nerve pain with all the holding and rocking I’ve been doing. I would love some help do get some relief and be able to sleep. I’m also switching over to pumping because nursing doesn’t seem like it’s working out. It’s a lot. It’s hard to watch the baby and pump at the same time.

I’ve had mom friends care for 2-3 kids all by themselves. I have a strong support system but still worried about being judged.

No judgement but do have money. A real postpartum doula - not a night nanny - can cost $30/hours or more. We looked into one and ended up by The Snoo instead. We also hired a PT nanny with 10+ years of newborn experience while I was in maternity leave. I make good money but there was no way I would pay that amount for a night and daytime doula.[/quote]

Snoo worked great for my first and not at all for my second.  It’s a lot of money for something that may not work. [/quote]
