A newborn baby needs to be fed every 1-3 hours. If you’re expecting your first child, you may be asking yourself, “when do I sleep?”. When you arrive at home, your schedule will coincide with hers, and sleep inevitably becomes priceless. During my shift, I will tend to all of your baby's needs: - Diapering - Changing - Bathing (first sponge bath, then regular bath) - Soothing - Circumcision & umbilical cord care - Bottle preparation & storage - Bottle feeding (Breastmilk & Formula) - Communication with breastfeeding parent to schedule feeds and transport baby back and forth to and from (when feeding overnight) - Wash and sterilize bottles, pump parts, pacifiers, etc. - Organization & maintenance of nursery - Baby's laundry (washing, folding, and putting away) - Create a regular feeding schedule - Assist in establishing healthy sleep habits - Keep nursery tidy and stocked - Maintain a log that tracks the baby's feeding times, ounces, diapers, and anything else parents may need to know. - Create a smooth transition for the family during the newborn stage (birth-3 months) - Assist you with any (baseline) feeding issues baby may have, including formula feeding and breastfeeding support or knowing when to recommend pediatrician or IBCLC support for extensive issues. - Troubleshoot potential issues of concern with the newborn and offer professional options to resolve them - Infant CPR (when needed) - Providing a safe and healthy sleep environment for baby at all times - Sleep Conditioning by using a gentle approach to help your baby develop sleep habits that lead to sleeping throughout the night - Parent education and emotional support
