Expecting a new baby this year?
Set up your newborn
nights before childbirth.
Most parents wait until they’re exhausted to ask for help. You don’t have to. Reserve certified overnight newborn care now and come home ready.
You remember how hard it was last time.
You’re planning the nursery, the birth plan, the bag for the hospital. But the weeks after birth? That’s where most families find themselves unprepared and overwhelmed.
You might be wondering:
- Who handles the 2am feeding when you're still recovering from birth
- How you'll sleep when every instinct tells you to stay awake
- How your toddler adjusts while you're caring for a newborn
Introducing The Balanced Motherhood Reset
This is a 6-week certified overnight care program (with the option to extend up to 16 weeks) that begins the moment you arrive home from the hospital. No last-minute searches. No guesswork. Your doula is already matched, vetted, and ready.
We handle the overnight shift — feedings, sleep tracking, diaper changes, morning reset — so your recovery starts right away. Sleep is the foundation of healing, and this plan protects yours.
Think of it as your postpartum blueprint. Built before birth. Ready from night one.

Real Moms. Real Relief.
Maternal Instincts has truly been a gift to our family. From the very first inquiry, they stepped in with so much support, kindness, and understanding. We immediately felt cared for and reassured during a time that can feel so overwhelming.
Ala has been nothing short of incredible. She is gentle, loving, and so skilled — the kind of person you instantly trust with your baby. Knowing that she’s here overnight gives us a peace of mind that is priceless. She treats our son as if he were her own, and we can see how much she truly cares. We are so grateful for her presence in our home and the comfort she brings to our whole family.
And Madeline is wonderful — always on top of everything, checking in, making adjustments quickly, and making sure our needs are met with care and attention. It’s rare to find such a personal and thoughtful touch in a service like this.
Maternal Instincts hasn’t just provided help; they’ve given us rest, confidence, and breathing room as new parents again. We wholeheartedly recommend them to any family looking for genuine support and exceptional care. They have made such a positive impact in our lives!
Rachelle and Maternal Instincts are truly life changing! I started going to Rachelle’s in-person sleep group when my daughter was only 4 weeks old and she has helped us through every stage in my daughter's life (now 8 months old)! Sleep, activities, starting solids, and much, much more! I feel so grateful to have access to Rachelle’s vast knowledge and have told every new mom friend about this resource! Truly cannot recommend enough!
Maternal Instincts was incredible - they worked with us very closely after we had some specific requests when our first provider wasn't the right fit for us. They found us an amazing provider Mariia who was a godsend for our family. We would breathe easy on the nights Mariia was coming - she was so calm, loving, kind and wonderful to have in our home with our newborn. She not only was great with our little one, but we woke up to clean and folded laundry, washed bottle parts, emptied dishwashers and clean counters. We were almost sad when our baby was sleeping through the night and Mariia wasn't coming anymore! If you are considering a night nurse or night doula, 1) do it! and 2) choose a wonderful provider like Maternal Instincts!
Our family had a fantastic experience with the Maternal Instincts team! They were extremely professional and helpful in finding our family a postpartum night doula. The care they provided was priceless. They were easily able to accommodate a schedule change and additional care - even with the holidays. I knew our baby was well taken care of and was at complete ease every night. Thank you to Rachelle, Kendra, and Linnell!
We had a great experience working with Rachelle and the Maternal Instincts team. They placed us with a great night Doula and were super knowledgeable and helpful when it came to submitting our expenses for reimbursement through a postpartum assistance program. I highly recommend them!
Rachelle and Maternal Instincts has a special and appreciative place in our hearts after her sleep support help with both our boys. Rachelle’s team is always focused on what is best for the baby, with tailored plans to meet your family’s needs, and no crying-it-out. With our first son, who was low weight gain and had reflux, I attended the sleep support group and followed Rachelle’s book. Despite all the struggles, Rachelle's knowledgeable and compassionate sleep plan and advice had him sleeping longer stretches that were appropriate for his age and needs, and much more sleep than any other plans/resources said was possible! We used the Maternal Instincts night nannies with our second, which are such a God-send to tired parents of newborns. Our night nurse Ala was professional, passionate, loving, reliable, and supportive. I highly recommend Maternal
