To rest properly at night: The early days with your newborn can become extremely exhausting, especially if you both are working professionals. Babies wake frequently during the night for feedings, diaper changes, and comfort. These constant interruptions can leave you feeling restless during the day. So, this is where we can help you during the night and make you feel recharged and better equipped to overcome any challenges during the day.

Help with postpartum recovery: Whether you’ve had a vaginal delivery or a C-section, it can take time for you to recover after childbirth. Being sleep-deprived can make your recovery even harder, leaving you physically and emotionally exhausted. By caring for your newborn at night, you ensure your body has the time to heal, and you can wake up feeling refreshed and more balanced. Not only will this help you recover well, but it will also allow you to bond with your baby without feeling exhausted.

Personalized Care: Not all babies are the same. Some struggle with sleep, some are hyperactive, and some of them are a little more high-maintenance. Whatever your baby’s needs are, our care specialists provide individualized care tailored to your child.

Diminish the risk of postpartum depression: Postpartum depression is something that is experienced by most new moms, and sleep deprivation can add to this concern. A well-rested mom is better at managing the hormonal changes and challenges that come after having a baby. Our overnight specialists are there to provide support and protect your mental health. With us, you are better equipped to enjoy your motherhood.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is overnight newborn care?

Overnight newborn care involves ensuring that your baby is safe, comfortable, and fed during the night. This includes checking on the baby regularly, feeding if necessary, changing diapers, and ensuring the sleeping environment is safe. Newborns need frequent feeding, especially during the first few weeks, and parents need to be ready to soothe and comfort them when they wake.

Can newborns sleep in a car seat overnight?

It’s not recommended for newborns to sleep in a car seat overnight. While it might be tempting during travel, sleeping in a car seat for extended periods can increase the risk of suffocation or breathing problems. It’s important for babies to sleep on a flat surface like a bassinet or crib with a firm mattress to ensure their safety.

How to care for a newborn overnight?

Caring for a newborn overnight involves regular check-ins for feeding, diaper changes, and ensuring they are comfortable. Newborns typically wake up every 2-3 hours for a feeding, and it’s important to keep the nursery cool and quiet, using soft lighting if needed. Swaddling or using a sleep sack can also help your baby feel secure. Always place your baby on their back to sleep, and make sure the crib is free of pillows, blankets, and stuffed animals.

What is the hardest week of a newborn?

The first few weeks of a newborn’s life can be challenging, but many parents find the second to third weeks particularly difficult. This is often when newborns experience growth spurts, increased crying, and sleep disruptions. Additionally, parents are adjusting to the new routine of feeding, changing, and soothing a newborn.

How long can newborns sleep overnight without feeding?

Newborns generally need to be fed every 2-4 hours, even during the night, especially in the first month. However, after about 2 weeks, some babies may start to sleep for longer stretches, up to 5-6 hours at night, without needing to be fed. This varies by baby, and it’s always a good idea to consult your pediatrician to ensure your baby is gaining weight and developing properly.

What is the 5-8-5 rule for babies?

The 5-8-5 rule refers to a guideline for parents to follow when managing their baby’s crying or fussiness. It’s a method used by pediatricians and child development experts to help soothe babies:

5 minutes: Check on your baby when they start to cry for up to 5 minutes. If the crying persists, respond with a calm and soothing approach.
8 minutes: If the baby continues crying, wait up to 8 minutes and then consider a feeding, diaper change, or comfort measure.
5 minutes: After trying soothing methods, if your baby is still upset, take a brief break for 5 minutes to compose yourself before trying again.

This rule is meant to encourage parents to take small breaks while trying to calm their babies, ensuring they don’t get overwhelmed.
