Postpartum Nutrition

Comprehensive Support for the Fourth Trimester.  Nurturing Parents, Newborns and the Entire Family.

At Give Me Sleep Newborn Care & Doula, I believe food is one of the most powerful forms of postpartum care. Nourishing meals provide comfort, strength, and support during a mother’s healing journey after birth.

Inspired by my European upbringing and my travels around the world, I bring together traditional recipes, cultural influences, and thoughtfully selected ingredients to create meals that are both comforting and restorative.

Postpartum nutrition is more than simply preparing food, it is about honoring the body, replenishing energy, and creating a sense of warmth and care during the fourth trimester.

From healing broths and nutrient-rich meals to comforting family recipes, every dish is prepared with intention to help mothers and families feel nourished, supported, and cared for during this transformative season.

What families say about 
gimme sleep

Working with Gimme Sleep was one of the best decisions we made during the early weeks with our daughter, Charlotte. As sleep-deprived first-time parents, Marianna’s postpartum doula support was truly life changing. She gave us confidence, reassurance, time for self-care, and much-needed rest during the fourth trimester.

- Mariana

Portsmouth, RI

Finding Marianna as our postpartum doula was a true blessing for our family! She took care of our twin girls several nights a week for the first 8 weeks of their life. She had such a positive and professional demeanor and made this unpredictable transition period feel so much more manageable and enjoyable. Being well rested and knowing our babies were well cared for overnight made all the difference in how we were able to adjust.

Swansea, MA

- Marie

Marianna was a godsend to our family. If you are looking for a postpartum doula in Rhode Island I highly recommend her. Before our twins arrived Marianna checked in on me and made me feel seen and supported ahead of her working in our home. After a NICU stint she helped us adjust to life at home with two newborns. She taught us so much and our boys loved her. We all felt so taken care of.

Barrington, RI

- Lauren

Marianna was the best with our baby and for our family! She is bubbly, friendly, and most of all loving for both the baby and the family. She is professional, organized and helpful in every way. She not only took care of our baby while we got rest, but she made us so many delicious meals and has a special touch to making you feel cozy. I would go to bed smelling the aromas of everything she was cooking, and wake up to fresh food.
