What a Sibling Doula Does During Birth and Postpartum with Kristin Revere
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
When families prepare for birth, so much focus is placed on supporting the birthing parent and partner. But what about older siblings?
In this solo episode with Kristin Revere, co-host of Ask the Doulas and founder of Gold Coast Doulas, we explore the role of a sibling doula and why this often overlooked form of support can make a meaningful difference for the entire family. A sibling doula provides emotional and practical care for older children during labor, birth, and the early postpartum period, helping them feel safe, included, and supported during a major life transition.
We discuss what a sibling doula does, what they do not do, and how their role differs from a traditional babysitter. You will learn how sibling doulas prepare children ahead of time, maintain routines, explain what is happening in age- appropriate ways, and support sibling introductions after birth.
This episode is especially helpful for families welcoming their first sibling, those without nearby support. Birth is not just a transition for parents. It is a big moment for siblings too, and thoughtful planning can help set the tone for a smoother adjustment.
