Short-term Doula

Looking for any recommendations on a Doula in the Glasgow/Ayrshire area that people have used before, just looking for some short term support to help us create a suitable routine.

Anyone had any experience?

Moon and Tide Birth (get them on Insta that's their handle) are great

My pals used Wee Sleepers, it’s online but they said the girl really helped!

Best of luck to anyone looking for help and support… I’d suggest folk can also ask their health visitor for support if they’re looking for sleep (or other parenting advice) in Glasgow.

The Health Visiting teams are usually trained in evidenced based approaches such as Triple P or Solihull, so people might not need to be spending cash on a ‘sleep consultant’.

Edit: I see OP’s baby is 11 days old. First of all, congratulations! Secondly…Sorry to share bad news but 11 day old babies don’t really have routines. Maybe speak to you Health Visitor for advice when you see them. Good luck!

Triple P was the worst thing we were ever forced to do with our 1st child. It was all parent shaming nonsense from a bunch of non parents.

Now we await a possible autism diagnosis for our 2nd child and one of the hoops they make you jump through is another bloody triple p course.

Trust your own parent instincts and act upon them. You'll only ever be the right person to set your child into a routine or know what's best for them.
