[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I simply can't imagine a life where this is an option.  Not because of the money but because it seems so starange to me to invite a strange into the house to care for a newborn while everyone else is asleep. I am genuinely curious... perhaps I am missing something -- this does not seem scary to anyone else? [/quote]

I thought the same thing, until my husband insisted (it is SOP with his group). And it was awesome. AWESOME.

To answer OP's question - $23/hr. [/quote]

Oops. I meant $27/hr. we used Let Mommy Sleep. I liked that they vetted everyone and they mostly had actual nurses. The owner is very nice/helpful, too. [/quote]

Why would you need an actual nurse unless the baby had a medical condition. You are hiring someone to 'mother' your baby -cuddle, change, feed, hold, comfort, etc... you don't need a medical professional for that. [/quote]

actually, it's more natural for a mom to have tons of help around her after a baby is born- at night or otherwise.  this idea that the mother has to be the one to do everything is relatively modern idea and it's why women get PPD and other issues.  Also, judgement from people like you doesn't help either.[/quote]
