What to Expect:
-
A typical shift is 10:30pm–6:30am (or 10–6 if you prefer – hours are flexible).
-
First night we will go over feeding plan, swaddles, sound machine, monitor, binki plan, app or notes to record info, hand off plan, your expectations and questions.
-
I arrive shortly before 10:30. We will discuss how the day went and share updates. Some choose to send a text update before I arrive to take advantage of the sleep!
-
We will discuss micro habits, the day feeding schedule, awake windows, routines at bedtime, sleep signs, if you choose.
-
Parents go to sleep, and I'm on duty to feed/change/soothe your baby throughout the night, while establishing good sleep habits from day one.
-
By 6:30am, all bottles/pump parts will be washed, and I will hand over the baby or the baby monitor, leaving you with a detailed log about how the night went.
-
This service is extremely flexible to accommodate each family's needs/wants.
