Expert Billing Tips for Postpartum Doula Support

Best practices to protect your income and set clear expectations with families.

Require minimum shift hours

Set a 4-hour minimum for daytime shifts to account for travel time and ensure each visit allows meaningful rest and support for the family.

Invoice in advance blocks

Bill postpartum packages in advance blocks (e.g. 20-hour retainers) rather than billing in arrears after hours are worked.

Frequently Asked Questions: Postpartum Doula Support Invoicing

Common questions about billing rates, retainers, and payment terms.

Should postpartum doulas charge hourly or by package?

Many postpartum doulas offer both: hourly rates (typically $35-$65/hr depending on market) with a minimum shift length (e.g., 4 hours), as well as discounted multi-week packages (e.g., 20, 40, or 80-hour blocks) paid upfront or in weekly installments.

How do postpartum doulas invoice for extra hours?

When clients request hours beyond their original package, send a supplemental invoice at the agreed hourly overage rate. DoulaBub allows you to add additional line items or send recurring weekly timesheet invoices seamlessly.

What is standard cancellation policy for postpartum shifts?

A 24-hour to 48-hour cancellation policy is standard across the doula industry. If a family cancels with less than 24 hours notice, the shift hours are typically deducted from their package balance.
