What is a Newborn Care Specialist?

Also known as a Baby Nurse, Maternity Nurse or Postpartum Doula, a Newborn Care Specialist will have extensive practical experience with newborns and will have current knowledge of accepted practices in newborn care including lactation support and infant CPR certification. Their primary responsibility is to provide new parents with assistance during the post-delivery recovery period and assist with all aspects of newborn care including feeding, changing, bathing, infant laundry, sterilizing bottles and helping parents establish a schedule for their newborn(s) so they can rest. Their secondary function is to train and educate the new parent(s).

The position is temporary in nature and normally lasts a few weeks but can last up to a maximum of 6 months for preemies and/or special needs newborns.

Our Philosophy

Our Specialists strive to provide a nurturing environment in your home so that you can relax, connect with your infant(s) and be confident in your parenting. They will NOT have their own agenda but can offer an objective opinion when asked. They know you are capable of making decisions regarding the well being of your family and will provide support in whatever way they can to promote the healthy growth and development of you and your infant(s). You will interview and choose your Specialist along with a back-up Specialist prior to your birth (if possible) and they will be the only people who will provide care for you and your family.
