Do I really need a Registered Nurse?
Yes. It is critical that the care you and your baby receive during the first few weeks postpartum is consistent with the care you receive from your baby’s pediatrician and other health care providers. Many parents are overwhelmed and confused with the large amount of information and advice they are hearing from friends and family. You do not want another person in your home giving you advice on how to take care of your new baby. The Newborn Nurse will teach you how to care for your baby based on medical research.
Who are Newborn Nurses?
They are a team of licensed registered nurses specializing in newborn care. The Newborn Nurses are not just nannies or individuals that have baby experience, they are working at Boston’s top birthing hospitals. You can be assured that the information and care the nurse provides to you and your new family is based on the latest research and medical evidence supported by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Our Newborn Nurses have had extensive background and reference checks completed. All nurses are certified in Infant CPR.
How long does the Newborn Nurse stay with the family?
Nursing support can last anywhere from one 2 hour visit to more than three months depending on the family's need.
What hours does the Newborn Nurse visit the family?
The Newborn Nurse works day, evening and night shifts based on the needs of the individual families. Most night shifts are from 10pm-6am. Some new families schedule a Newborn Nurse for baby’s first few weeks other families use us on and off for the baby’s first three months.
What is the goal of the Newborn Nurse?
The goal of the Newborn Nurse is to nurture parents into their new roles. As parents experience success and their knowledge and self confidence grows, the need for professional assistance diminishes.
