Newborn Night Care / Sleep Training Techniques |
|
No more sleepless nights Get sleep coaching for your newborn baby!
I provide night care for your newborn as well as sleep
training techniques to be applied when putting your
baby to sleep each night so that your baby starts sleeping
for longer periods from the beginning, and many bad
habits will not be picked up.
As your nighttime baby nurse I work evening hours
to allow you some much-needed rest. No more sleepless nights or getting
up every 1 1/2 - 3 hours. This is really wonderful, especially for
parents of multiples. I usually sleep in the same or an adjoining room
to the nursery. I get up at every feeding to feed your little one or if
you are breastfeeding, I will wake baby, change her or him, and bring
baby to your bedroom for nursing. I will then burp, swaddle, and rock
your baby back to sleep.
To make the evening duty more comfortable I suggest
accommodations such as a bed, rocker, table, lamp,
T.V., a bathroom, food and beverages.
Night Baby Duties:
- Feeding, Soothing, and laying your baby back to
sleep
- Swaddling
- Changing
- Keeping Nursery Tidy
- Baby Laundry (If it doesn't bother anyone)
- Re-stocking Nursery
- Cleaning Bottles and Nursery Supplies
Availability:
- Schedules must be a Minimum of 8-12 Hours
- Minimum of 1 Week
- Out of State: 24/6 with 4 Hr Daily Break - 2, 3

Added Platinum Service!
I provide the service of Pick-up
& delivery, running errands such as going to the pharmacy for meds,
buying groceries, and shopping at baby boutiques or stores to get much
needed items. I also will go through your registry or shop with you to
make a list of items for your shower, or to show you the better brands
of baby products. I educate new parents as to why certain products are
preferred or needed. I will also organize the nursery, as well as the
drawers and closest, so that when you arrive home from the hospital,
every baby item is in its proper location for easy access. You should
not have to ever leave your newborn to grab something.
