Postpartum Care

The postpartum period is a critical time for a mother’s physical and emotional recovery. Postpartum care services provide essential support, including assistance with breastfeeding, recovery exercises, and emotional counseling. Having a postpartum doula or nurse can help new mothers feel more confident and cared for during this delicate period.

Lactation Consulting

Breastfeeding can be challenging, especially for first-time mothers. Lactation consultants offer expert guidance on latching techniques, milk supply, and addressing any breastfeeding issues. Their support can ensure a positive breastfeeding experience and help establish a strong bond between mother and baby.

Night Nannies

Sleep is essential for both parents and newborns. Night nannies provide overnight care, allowing parents to rest and recharge. These experienced caregivers handle nighttime feedings, diaper changes, and soothing, ensuring that both the baby and parents get the rest they need.

Customized Support

Every family is unique, and so are their needs. Newborn care services offer customized support tailored to your specific situation. Whether you need help with establishing routines, understanding baby’s cues, or managing multiple children, professional caregivers can provide the guidance and assistance you need to navigate the early weeks with confidence.

Peace of Mind

The presence of experienced caregivers can provide peace of mind for new parents. Knowing that your baby is in capable hands allows you to focus on recovery and bonding with your little one. Newborn care services ensure that your baby receives the best possible care, while you receive the support and guidance you need to thrive as a new parent.

Following are some tips for helping your baby sleep. None of these tips is intended to advocate or promote a particular parenting style or school of thought; these are tips that are applicable to all sorts of parenting approaches. Here are some ideas.

Swaddling

For young babies, especially newborns, the lights, open space, and cold (relative to the womb) temperatures can be overwhelming. Swaddling, or wrapping your baby closely in blankets, can go a long way to helping baby feel secure enough to sleep.

If you have trouble with swaddling, or it does not seem to be working, try wrapping baby more closely. Remember how tight he or she was in the womb just days or weeks before! It sometimes surprises parents how closely baby needs to be swaddled to feel comfortable. Of course, you should never tie or fasten anything tightly around your baby.

White Noise

Fans or white noise devices can be very helpful for promoting baby’s sleep. Some parents use an air purifier, or even a radio set on static. Pretty much anything that makes a steady hum and does not pose any risk to baby’s safety will work.

Flexibility

Despite what some sleep trainers claim, you are better suited to make adjustments to your baby’s lifestyle than your baby is to yours. There may be something small that you could do that may make a big difference. For example:

* Baby does not have to sleep in a crib or bed right off the bat. As long as it’s safe, there’s no “wrong” place for a baby to sleep. If baby sleeps well on a blanket on the living room floor, great!

* Try varying how you put baby to sleep. Some experts note that this keeps baby from expecting a particular action – rocking, singing, nursing – in order to fall asleep and fall back asleep. So it’s recommended that you vary your methods for putting baby to sleep.

Closeness

If babies do not get a lot of cuddling, interaction, touch, and a certain amount of peace and quiet, they may look to have those needs met at night. Try to satisfy your baby’s needs for closeness and touch during the day, and you may find that he or she rests more peacefully at night.
