- What is the difference between a baby nurse and a night nanny?
- A baby nurse — properly called a Newborn Care Specialist — is trained specifically in newborn-to-16-week care, including feeding, sleep coaching, swaddling, and recognizing medical concerns. A night nanny typically handles only overnight wakes without specialized newborn training.
- How soon before my due date should I book?
- We recommend booking by your second trimester, especially for twins, multiples, or expected NICU stays. For urgent placements, we can often deploy a vetted NCS within 7 days.
- Do you place baby nurses for premature or NICU-graduate babies?
- Yes. Our premature-specialist roster is trained in apnea monitor familiarity, oxygen support, reflux protocols, feeding-tube experience, and developmental positioning. We coordinate directly with your pediatric team.
- Are your baby nurses comfortable with twins?
- Absolutely. We maintain a dedicated multiples-specialist roster experienced in tandem feeding and synchronized schedules. Solo overnight coverage for twins is standard; 24/7 rotations are available for triplets.
- How does sleep training work with a newborn?
- True sleep training begins around 12–16 weeks, but the foundation starts on day one. Our specialists establish day/night rhythm, drowsy-but-awake transitions, and an Eat-Wake-Sleep pattern from the start so formal training is gentle and brief.
- What does it cost?
- Hourly rates for baby nurses vary by experience and schedule. Our placement fees are flat — Essential, Signature, and Estate tiers — with replacement warranties of 90 days to 6 months. Registration is complimentary.
