Choose between a variety of services such as childbirth education, hands-on labor support, and more. CLEbaby is an amazing service operating throughout Northeast Ohio hospitals, clients’ homes, and even Nationwide for certain services. They recognize that whole-family support and compassionate care are often missing pieces in early parenthood.

CLEbaby – Doula Services, Sleep Consulting, and More

Founded by Ashley Sova in 2015, CLEbaby has been able to serve over 450 families. Sova, a Doctorate in Education candidate at the University of Dayton with a focus on Leadership organizations, recognized the need for doula support in Northeast Ohio and the potential to greatly impact the maternal-infant health system. “It’s past time to start considering systemic solutions to not only ease the burden of early parenthood, but address inequalities among race, sex, socioeconomic status, and beyond.”

“We must do better for growing families. They are nurturing our future doctors, teachers, skilled workers, attorneys, writers, artists, politicians, engineers… Imagine what the world would look like in a society that values new parents and provides them with the resources they need to thrive in early parenthood. Doulas can and should play a key role in this.” Ashley Sova, Founder & President, CLEbaby

Birth Doula Services

A birth doula offers amazing support for you and your partner. They can offer information, support during labor, your advocate for receiving what YOU want, emotional comfort, and more. Birth doulas not only support those choosing a natural or at-home birth, but they are also able to support births in every form including medicated, unmedicated, scheduled cesarean, unplanned cesarean, multiples, surrogate births, inductions, and VBACs.

Postpartum Doula Support and Newborn Care

Support even after you come home. Not only is there another person being welcomed in the family, but postpartum also comes with its own emotional and physical demands. Whether it’s your first child or last, a postpartum doula can be the perfect support for not just Mama and baby, but for the whole family. A postpartum doula supports the physical, mental, and emotional needs. Postpartum doulas work with families to develop a care plan that will be customized to their specific needs. Duties may include:

• Daytime and Nighttime care for newborns
• Newborn support and education
• Meal prep and clean up
• Light household duties
• Bottle and Breastfeeding support
• Support for older siblings during the transition
• And more…

Your CLEbaby postpartum doulas are trained through certification organizations so they can always stay up to date with current and relevant research on infant and postpartum care.

Sleep Consulting

Imagine you and baby getting the rest you truly deserve, and not just during the first few months. CLEbaby offers in-home and national support based on the Mommywise method. Their training program is typically 3-5 nights and offers coaching calls and unlimited support for long-term success. Sleep training is best before teething and big developmental leaps but CLEbaby offers services to toddlers up to 3 years old. Start with a complimentary call with a certified Mommywise Sleep Coach to begin the steps to better sleep.
