I did not have one and it wasn't that bad! Granted, I just had the one baby and could nap during the day when she napped. I had to get up and feed her or pump during the night anyway and I loved having her in the same room with us at night - listening to her breathing and sometimes laughing!
One child, a long maternity leave and a supportive partner -- I never needed anyone else. |
Young mothers today are so spoiled and entitled.
Please - just get up with your baby yourself. It is part of the experience as well as bonding. Moms and Dads have been doing it for generations. |
Same here. I think I would actually feel guilty for letting someone else take care of my kid so I could sleep. |
Prior PPs- is this thread about whether to get a night nurse? |
It's not the young mothers- it's the 40 year old granny moms who are too old to be having babies. |
Or someone with an emergency c-section with twins and a spouse deployed overseas. I hope everyone in your life treats you with as much venom as you put into these comments. |
I pay 200 GBP/night (7-7) in central London. She comes 2 nights a week and is worth every single penny. |
No, it is also the young mothers. I have a friend who is "exhausted" raising her two boys (one a newborn) as a SAHM. A SAHM with a nanny for each child and a weekend nanny as well as a night nurse for the newborn seven nights a week. |
go away!!! |
New poster here but I think you are projecting "venom" as I didn't read it like that at all. I think the poster is just tired of the complaining. And seriously, what percentage of new mothers in the USA had c-section twins while her husband was deployed? Maybe .00001% of all births in 2016 were c-section twins with partners on active duty overseas. Please stop the silly drama, PP. |
Www. Overnightnewborncare.com It is a group of women. We used them very good experience with them. |
Hi sock-puppet insulting PP. It's rude to call a 40 year old mom a granny, K? There are plenty of people who outsource things and are able to pay for it, should we hate on them too? Like if you have a cleaning service, someone work on your garden, etc. If people can afford it and want to - it's their own personal business. If you can't afford any of it - move on, being a jerk does not have any positive effect on your own low budget situation. |
Pretty sure Military wives with spouses overseas are not paying $200-$300 a night for night nurses. |
Unless they have a nursing degree , they can not be called night nurses. They are newborn care specialist (if they have that training) or night nanny. |
Says who? Wet nurses weren't certified nurses either. Can you be said to be nursing your baby if you're not an RN or the like? It's just a traditional use of the word. |
