| In NYC night nurses were easy to find. I am not sure how to go about it here for my second child. Any leads? Want to book in advance of my November due date |

I run an agency and our night nannies and Newborn Care Specialists are booking up for Oct/Nov right now.
Just one piece of advice- using the term "night nurse" indicates you are seeking an RN who typically only take on cases with medically complex newborns and charge a way higher rate than Newborn Care Specialists. Just want to flag that because unfortunately some agencies won't explain the difference and if you call asking for a nurse, they will just provide that at a much higher fee without saying anything. |

I am not sure if I’ll have a medically complicated baby or not but when should one start to look for overnight care - whether by a nurse or not - because I am sure I want it.
Due mid-Jan 2024 but this is my first so who knows! |

| If you want to try to lock in one consistent person for several months, start 3mos out |

They usually want to be booked up at least 3 months out |

Stella - +1 (301) 408-9148 - was amazing for my second. I didn’t love the person from
Hush Hush Little Baby for my first, but probably depends on who you get. |

| NYC mom here. You could always just hire a baby nurse from the ny area and pay for their transportation to you. I know people who’ve done this in other states - for 24/7 baby nurses, not night nurses (in my experience the rates are the same though and I’m not sure why you’d hire a night nurse vs a full time baby nurse at that point.) |

| Lauranda Hippeard is amazing. My baby went from refusing to sleep unless someone was holding her to sleeping in her crib for hours thanks to Lauranda. https://laurandahippeard.wixsite.com/infantsleepexpert |
