Most people have no idea what a postpartum doula really does.
So we asked ours to tell you.

In this short 3 minute video, Portland New Family Fund's doulas talk about what it means to care for someone after birth—how they show up, what families really need, and why this work is so urgent.

It’s tender, powerful, and worth every minute.
If you refer new parents, please watch it.
If you’ve ever wished someone had shown up for you—watch it.

This is what real support looks like.
And it shouldn’t be a luxury.

This , let’s rewrite the story for moms like Emily, one of our clients who faced the postpartum period alone after major surgery.

💔 No mom should recover from childbirth without support. At PNFF, we’re on a mission to ensure every parent, regardless of income, has access to postpartum doula care—a necessity, not a luxury.

💖 Your generosity can make this a reality. A gift of $50 provides vital support for a new parent navigating those early weeks. Together, we can make sure no one is left behind.

Each of us at Bridgetown Baby believes that all families deserve the benefits that come from comprehensive doula and feeding support. This year, we’re once again putting the strength of our Mamas Day Campaign behind the important work of Portland New Family Fund , a nonprofit whose mission is to provide financial assistance to low-income parents for birth doulas, postpartum doulas and newborn lactation/feeding services, while ensuring that the professional who support these families are paid a living wage.

Last year, you helped us raise an incredible $7500 and this year we’re upping our game because we know you’re with us - please join us in raising $12,000 this spring to provide even more low-income families with access to doula and lactation care and to support PNFF’s local, state and federal advocacy for better maternal-child health.

When you join us in supporting PNFF, you’re making an immediate, tangible difference in improving maternal and neonatal health outcomes for Portland families.

Examples of the impact of your gift:
$50 one hour of postpartum doula care
$120 postpartum care supplies
$250 one daytime postpartum visit
$1500 postpartum care for one family

This is Sarah and her baby, Robyn. Portland New Family Fund, along with , had the honor of supporting her family by connecting her to medicaid birth doula support and funding her postpartum doula support, which medicaid does not cover.

To say this single mama is resilient does not do her justice. She arrived in Portland during her pregnancy with her two small children, knowing no one. Her midwife referred her to our program and we were thrilled to be able to provide doula services.

"This was by far my easiest postpartum experience. My body healed faster than it ever has after birth because I didn't have to move around so much. I had someone to help with chores, with my other kids and provide me emotional support. I felt bonded to my baby in a way I hadn't with my other two because I had someone helping me. All moms deserve this support after birth."
