What are some of the benefits of having overnight care?
Everyone getting more sleep, reassurance and education about typical newborn behaviors
being taught to read babies’ hunger and sleep cues and much more!
Responding to babies needs is very important.
Learning what their movements, facial expressions and sounds mean makes life easier.
Families are often able to get into a routine faster with help from a certified Newborn Care Specialist.
Families are still able to EBF (exclusively breast feed), pump, formula feed or a combination with overnight help.
Being well rested for, especially for Mondays.
Sunday night shifts are available and very popular so one or both caregivers can rest before working on Monday. Working Sunday nights, I often fill in for parents who work very early, far away, or are going out-of-town.
Having a newborn specialist can help you get an average of 2.5 to 3.5 hours more sleep per night. During the first year, caregivers typically lose about 1,000 hours or 1/3 of their sleep. Having twins on average adds another 75 hours of lost sleep. Sleep is as important for new parents as it is for babies.
