[quote=Anonymous]Night nurses - usually infant care specialists, not registered nurses - take care of baby at night, usually just a couple nights a week. We got one through an agency. She comes twice a week and gives bottles, changes diapers, and rocks baby as needed. We have one we hired when I was pregnant, but she didn’t start until baby was 4 weeks or so, and she only comes twice a week. It’s definitely saved my mental health, and I’m sure prevented numerous sleep deprived fights I might have had with my husband. Even if baby has a horrible night (with me) I take great comfort knowing that in just a few days I’ll get a full night of sleep. This is our third kid so it’s especially valuable not to have to nap so much during the day; I can get other stuff done and focus on my older kids more. I wish we’d had one with our first, though, because she was a terrible sleeper and it took a toll on my health and my marriage.[/quote]
