[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's tons of space between 24/7 help for three months and zero help.  Sure, get a 24/7 baby nurse until you're physically recovered and can get a routine going with the baby.  That sounds very reasonable.  From there, most agree that it's helpful to have some help during the day so you aren't alone with two kids with different needs all day, every day.  I'd probably want this person to be a nanny who could take the older one to the playground while I napped or fed the baby.  I had sleepy infants, so I'd play with the older one when the baby was napping.

[b]Personally I wouldn't find a night nanny to be very helpful since I nursed (so I would still need to be awake) and had pretty good sleepers, but you could play this by ear.[/b]  I found that the option for a nap when the toddler napped was enough to keep me feeling pretty good.  The nanny could take the baby during that window, if the baby isn't also napping.[/quote]

The baby nurse helps teach the baby to go longer in between feedings. The goal is that baby is STTN by the time she leaves after 3 months.[/quote]
