As professional postpartum doula, I am specifically trained in supporting families during the postpartum time up to one year after delivery. I am there to offer emotional support, physical support and educational support to your entire family. A postpartum doula doesn’t just focus on the baby; mother, partner, and siblings are all supported with the goal on helping mother and family adjust to the new family member.

A newborn night nanny (also known as “baby nanny,” or “night nannies”) primary role is to take care of the baby(s). Currently though, there is no credential or training necessary to use these titles.
 
Lastly, a baby nurse is there solely to take care of the baby only. It should be noted that a baby nurse should be up to date with his/her current nursing license.
 
So how can I help give your family adequate sleep? I offer both daytime and overnight postpartum support. This includes:

• Evidence based information. I can help you filter through all the advice, tips, and tricks others may have given to you.
• Essential baby care needs. I can help parents learn to care for their baby with confidence. This includes assisting with what’s considered “normal,” soothing techniques, feeding, bathing, and yes: SLEEP!
• Overnight care. To help parents get adequate sleep, I offer overnight care so that parents feel well rested during the day. If breastfeeding, baby can be brought in to nurse and then brought back to the nursery with me to soothe back to sleep with very little interruption to mother’s sleep.
• Household help. Light housework (even during the night) can help ease a family’s transition. Simply errands can also be run during my shift.
• Emotional support. Adding a new member into your family is life changing and it can be overwhelming at times. Having someone there to talk to without judgment, can make a huge difference.
• Community referrals. If you are need of additional care such as lactation consultant, or psychologist for example, I can refer you to well-known and respected professionals in our community.

 
I can certainly support you if you are looking for a night nanny, baby nurse, or postpartum doula. I am passionate about supporting families in the Syracuse area to help your family rest and enjoy your new family member!
