I’m the PP who also has three kids that wrote the long message above. I’d like to be (apparently the first?) to congratulate you on never having a tough overnight baby. My first would literally sometimes scream for hours in the middle of the night. Getting him back to sleep after feedings in the night was a disaster like half the time, and even when it wasn’t, he had reflux and needed to be held upright for 20 mins before being put down. My second had periods of being up in the middle of the night ready to party for a couple hours. My third is like all yours and it’s waaaaaay better in that regard, but he does tend to have giant poopy diapers in the middle of the night. I have many friends who have had a baby who would. not. sleep. in a bassinet. There are lots of babies who are a lot more trouble in the night than what you’re describing!! |

| The rates are generally around $45-50/hr with an 8 hour minimum. The two agencies that I often hear recommended are Hush Hush Little Baby and Let Mommy Sleep. |

We used Linda's Overnight Newborn Care and highly recommend! Rates are $45/hr for 8 hr sessions. I agree with some other posters that it really becomes useful 4-6 weeks in, when your adrenaline wears off and the exhaustion sets in (and one of you probably has to go back to work).
I pumped overnight and the night nurse fed the baby with a bottle. It was very, very worth it to us. |
