How Can A Baby Nurse Help Me?
Hiring the right care for your baby is something that should be addressed well before you give birth. There are many options and one of the best initial caregiver services from your baby’s first few weeks up until the first 3-4 months, is hiring a baby nurse. Baby Nurses can be hired to work a 24/7 schedule, night-time or day-time shifts.
“Baby Nurses are non-medical Newborn Care Specialists who come into the family’s home and really help parents with both the care of the baby, establishing eating and sleeping patterns and providing the overall support for moms and dads”, said Saul Moskowitz, Co-Founder of Absolute Best Care.
Whether you are breast feeding or bottle feeding mom, baby nurses are supportive and accomodating. Baby Nurses wake up with baby for the late night feedings, giving new parents some very needed rest while transitioning to this new rigorous schedule.
Baby Nurse responsibilities are three-fold - Infant Care, Education and Scheduling. Here is a list of basic duties and responsibilities:
- Diapering
