Night doula sleep expectations
Hi,
For those of who have hired night doula, how common is to have the doula sleep through while caring for the baby? Like full on snoring?
Obviously I don't expect them to be awake every single minute if the night. I want to hear other parents' opinion.

Our slept through the night. It didn't bother me at all since she was in the room next to the baby and would get up as soon as the baby was awake. I don't know how common that is.
I think this is fairly common, from my experience. We’ve worked with three night doulas with our two daughters and all would sleep when the baby was sleeping. I didn’t find it would disrupt their ability to care for the baby, but if you think it does, I would say something.
