[quote=Anonymous]15:15 here.  Wanted to circle back to say this:

As far as whether it is worth the money, Let me break it down by the categories I numbered above:

1) If you have multiples then getting them on the same schedule ASAP is life-saving.  If you have a medically needy parent or infant or otherwise cannot function without adequate sleep then it can be worth it.  If you have one healthy infant and no PP complications for parents then this is probably overkill unless you have really limited maternity/paternity leave.

2) This is often the sweet spot, but the downside is that some parents can’t relax and let go enough to actually sleep, even when a caregiver is there.  If you go this route, don’t schedule for more than a few weeks at first.  See whether you are able to sleep.  If you find that you can’t relax and you are paying someone only to stay awake and micromanage them all night then it’s not worth the money for you.

3) I honestly tend to feel that this is a bit of a waste unless the parents are either highly anxious or have very little/no experience with newborns.  [/quote]
