[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hugely worth it if breastfeeding especially if you have a c-section. The nurses’ job is to ensure that the *only* thing you do is breastfeed.

My sisters night nurse said her goal in a 12 hour shift was the mom sleeping for 8 hours. When she arrived she’d get my sister settled in for the night (make sure she had lots of water and tea, checked her incision for her a couple of times, checked where she was in her meds schedule) then brought the baby to her to eat, while my sister nursed she did a laundry for the baby and my sister, then the second the baby was done and snuggled, she took the baby away. Repeat 3-4 hours. During the morning feed she made breakfast for my sister and brought it to her on a tray before she left for the day.

When my sister had her second she used the same nurse, and once she could drive she would leave the newborn with the night nurse while she took her 3 y/o to preschool 3x week, which helped make sure the 3 y/o was getting the one on one time she needed even in the early stages.

Sharing my sisters experience because I had a Covid baby, but will absolutely be using a night nurse for our second.

For last minute, I would seek out a really well regarded agency like WH Nanny, or if you used a doula that you really liked, see what their PP doula situation is. [/quote]

That sounds amazing. Where did she find the night nurse?[/quote]
