Postpartum Care

The postpartum period is a critical time for a mother鈥檚 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鈥檚 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.

Experiencing a C-Section is a significant undertaking, as it involves major surgery, and it’s crucial for every mother to anticipate a recovery period of 4-6 weeks. Whether this is your first venture into the realm of C-Sections or you’re a seasoned veteran, being well-informed about the post-surgery expectations is essential.

Typically, most C-Section procedures necessitate a four-day hospital stay following the delivery. Once back home, you’ll receive advice to refrain from lifting anything heavier than your newborn and to abstain from activities such as driving or navigating stairs. These guidelines, though essential for a smooth recovery, can pose particular challenges for mothers residing in multi-story homes. In the face of these obstacles, what options are available to support mothers during this recovery phase?

Hiring an expert to help you take care of the baby is a great option. Postpartum Doula’s, or a Newborn Care Specialist can all help Mom recover and heal from her surgery.

Postpartum Doula

A Postpartum Doula provides support for the mother and the rest of the family. A big part of the Doula鈥檚 job is to 鈥渕other the mother鈥� and help the new mother recover after birth. The Doula can offer breastfeeding and bottle-feeding support, help establish newborn procedures and routines, along with other infant care needs. The Doula can also provide some light housekeeping, errand running and meal preparation.

Newborn Care Specialist (NCS)

The responsibilities of the NCS include feeding, bathing, changing the infant, washing/cleaning/sterilizing bottles, and initiating a schedule for sleeping, meals, nap and play time. Other responsibilities include advising and providing any requested consultation on infant needs, swaddling, breastfeeding guidance, cord and circumcision care and nursery organization. An NCS can work days, nights or around the clock. The training a NCS receives can vary from more official groups like to smaller trainings led by individual agencies or no specific training at all. Many NCS have been providing care to new moms for decades! They bring to the family years of practical experience.

These caregivers offer overnight services. A good night’s sleep is by far the biggest need for parents with an infant! The caregiver typically arrives at 10 pm and stays until 6 or 7 am, allowing parents to sleep and feel well rested for the next day.

TLC for Kids knows this transitional period requires more help than usual, so we have two different options to help your family adjust to a new baby.

1 . Newborn Overnight Nanny. At TLC for Kids, we have caregivers who work as overnight newborn nannies. An overnight newborn nanny is a caregiver that comes to your house around bedtime and stays awake through the night (they are required to stay awake the entire time) to take care of the baby when he/she wakes up. The overnight nanny will feed the baby(or bring baby to mom for nursing), change, rock and put the baby back to sleep. This allows new parents to catch up on rest and enjoy a full night鈥檚 sleep because they know their baby is receiving the best care possible.

2. Newborn Specialist. If welcoming a new baby is harder than getting sleep at night, TLC for Kids also offers child care providers who are newborn specialists. Newborn specialists help parents in their home the first few weeks or months of baby’s life with parent education, feeding/breastfeeding, basic baby care, and light housekeeping. Newborn specialists can also help older siblings adjust to sharing mom and dad鈥檚 attention with a new baby in the house. Whether you are a seasoned mom or new to parenting, a newborn specialist is an option to help your family adjust.

TLC for Kids is ready to assist you and your growing family, so whether you are expecting and want to find a caregiver before your baby arrives, or already have a newborn but need help, call TLC for Kids today: (314) 725-5660.
