[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a night nurse 4-5 nights a week for the first six weeks.  It was life changing, I cannot recommend enough if you can afford it.  Mine worked 10 pm to 7 am.  They were professional, trained nannies who asked about diaper change preferences, feeding preferences, and were very diligent about washing their hands.  I'm now at week 11 and going back to work soon, baby is sleeping from around 11 pm to 5 am so we don't really need them anymore. [/quote]

Please do not use the word “nurse” for someone who has not *earned* that title/license. (“Trained nannies”, as you mentioned, do not have the same education and qualifications as an actual nurse.) Using the term “night nurse” is completely inappropriate unless the person is actually a RN, LPN or LVN (or an advanced practice nurse, obviously) who happens to work overnight. Thanks!

Lol. You kind of people are SO annoying, do you get irritated with people who call themselves teachers too? If you’re a “RN, LPN, or LVN” then you’d be smart enough to know something this menial is not worth the blood pressure spike it’s clearly giving you. [/quote]

This. “Baby Nurse” has been used as the term for someone who cares for an infant for 100+ years in English. You can see it in original Emily Post if you’re curious. It was never solely reserved for medical nurses.[/quote]
