A newborn care specialist is a trained professional who provides specialized care for newborn babies and their families. Also known as a baby nurse, postpartum doula or infant care specialist, a newborn care specialist has expertise in a range of areas related to newborn care such as feeding, diapering, bathing, soothing techniques, sleep training, and developmental milestones. Newborn care specialists are typically hired during the first few weeks or months of a baby's life. They can work either during the day or overnight, depending on the family's needs. In addition to providing hands-on care for the baby, they may also offer emotional support and practical advice to new parents, helping them navigate the challenges of parenthood. To become a newborn care specialist, individuals must undergo specialized training and certification programs that provide them with the necessary skills and knowledge to care for newborns. Some may also have prior experience working in fields such as nursing, childcare, or early childhood education.

A postpartum doula is a trained professional who provides physical, emotional, and informational support to a new mother and her family during the postpartum period, which is the time following the birth of a baby. The role of a postpartum doula is to help the new mother adjust to her new role and responsibilities, recover from childbirth, and care for her newborn. Postpartum doulas offer a variety of services, including practical assistance with tasks such as feeding, diapering, and bathing the baby, as well as household chores like laundry, cooking, and cleaning. They may also provide emotional support and guidance, helping the new mother cope with the physical and emotional changes that come with having a baby. The services of a postpartum doula are often tailored to the specific needs of the mother and her family. Some may provide short-term support during the immediate postpartum period, while others may work with the family for several weeks or months after the baby is born. To become a postpartum doula, individuals must undergo specialized training and certification programs that provide them with the necessary skills and knowledge to support new mothers and their families. Some may also have prior experience working in fields such as nursing, midwifery, or childbirth education.

A night nurse is an outdated term that is now used to refer to a Newborn Care Specialist (NCS). While there are some Newborn Care Specialists or Postpartum Doulas that are registered nurses, it is not common.

It's a good idea to start thinking about hiring a night nurse or nanny during the second trimester of pregnancy. This will give you enough time to research and find a night nurse who is a good fit for your family and to arrange for their services. It's important to keep in mind that night nurses and nannies are in high demand, especially during peak baby-birthing seasons, so it's best to start your search as early as possible to increase your chances of finding someone who is available and a good fit for your family's needs. We recommend that families reach out 2-6 months before their estimated due date. This ensures that you can secure your preferred start date.

Most families looking for overnight care book anywhere from 2-6 months of care. There are many factors to consider when deciding how long to book care for: Did you have a cesarean section and need time to recover? What is your childcare budget? Are you or your partner returning to work? While we customize care to fit your need, we recommend a 2 month minimum for optimum benefits for both baby and parents.
