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.

Postpartum Doula

A Postpartum Doula provides support for the mother and the rest of the family. A big part of the Doula���s job is to ���mother the mother��� and help the new mother recover after birth. With a Doula there is a lot of focus on education. The Doula can offer breastfeeding and bottle feeding support, help establish newborn procedures and routines, along with other infant care needs. The Postpartum Doula aims to make the mother comfortable and confident in her new role, and to empower the parents to care for their new baby themselves. The Doula can also provide some light housekeeping, errand running and meal preparation. In Miami and Fort Lauderdale Postpartum Doulas can range from $14-$25 per hour.

The hours typically range 4-6 hours a day, but overnights are also possible. The parents can also decide if they want the Doula every day or just a few days a week. There are certification programs that some Doulas complete through these organizations: DONA, CAPPA, Maternity Wise, or Childbirth International.

Baby Nurse

In South Florida parents typically use the word ���Baby Nurse��� to describe around the clock infant care assistance. This person is usually not a registered nurse. She is typically a non-medically trained caregiver whose main focus is on the infant. The Baby Nurse has a bed in the room with the baby. She is responsible for feeding, changing, burping, rocking, soothing, and swaddling the new baby. The baby nurse may also assist with the infant’s laundry and bottle washing. In the Miami and Fort Lauderdale area a live-in Baby Nurse charges between $200 and $275 per day.

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 Newborn Care Specialist Association (NCSA) 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.

All three 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.
