Chicago Overnight Newborn Care

As a new parent, prioritizing sufficient sleep is essential for your physical and mental well-being. Thankfully, we have services available to assist you in getting the rest you need while ensuring excellent care for your baby.

In Illinois, you’ll find our team of trained and experienced Newborn Care Specialists, Postpartum Doulas, and Registered and Licensed Baby Nurses who can provide overnight newborn care.

  • Sleep: Adequate rest is crucial for new parents to heal, recover and thrive. Additionally, we set up newborns for success using our skills in newborn sleep conditioning to teach them to sleep to the best of their ability.
  • Safety: We will educate you on setting up the nursery, and ensure your baby is sleeping safely on their back overnight, following all AAP safe sleep guidelines.
  • Support: We hold your hands every step of the way. Our Newborn Care Specialists are your experts, ready to answer any questions you may have about caring for your newborn.

Our thoroughly vetted overnight support team all undergo background checks and detailed reference checks. You can feel completely reassured that your baby is in safe hands.

Chicago 24/7 Newborn and Infant Care

Parents looking for more comprehensive care will explore 24/7 in-home newborn care. A Newborn Care Specialist is a highly trained individual who specializes in caring for newborns and dedicates a significant portion of their time to one family. They provide invaluable guidance and support during your first weeks or months home from the hospital.

  • Your Newborn Care Specialist will travel to your home in Illinois and stay with your family throughout the duration of your contract.
  • A typical shift is 16-20 hours, with the 24/7 night nurse resting and recharging in a private space for the other 4-8 hours.
  • A typical length of stay is 6-12 weeks, but some parents book as little as 2 weeks while others book the first six months until they are ready for a less-specialized child care arrangement.

Each 24/7 newborn care position is unique to fit your family’s needs and goals. The Newborn Care Specialist can completely take over care, or can work collaboratively with the family imparting education and support while working alongside you as a support partner.

Let’s break down the difference between Overnight Newborn Care and 24/7 Live-In Care:
