Gentle Giraffes

Expert Overnight Care. Restorative Support. Healthy Foundations.

The newborn period is beautiful, but it can also be physically & mentally exhausting, emotionally intense, and filled with constant change and overwhelm. Our Overnight Signature Packages provide more than overnight relief for the parents. Our Newborn Care Specialists (NCS) provide experienced newborn care, thoughtful education, individualized guidance, and a steady professional presence during one of the most important transitions in your family’s life.

This isn’t occasional help, it’s designed to offer and provide high-level support that evolves. Each package is designed to progressively strengthen your baby’s transition to this world, your confidence, and your home’s overall rhythm.

Our Live-Out Signature Packages are intentionally created to provide increasing levels of consistency, guidance, and developmental support. Each experience builds upon the one before it:

• The Six-Week Foundational Package provides targeted support during the earliest stage of the transition from hospital to home.
• The Ten-Week Premier Package continues that foundation through the developmental, digestive, feeding, and sleep changes that often emerge during months two and three.
• The Fourteen-Week Nurtured Package offers our most comprehensive level of consistency, recovery support, coaching, a sleeping baby, and preparation for the months ahead.

What This Work Delivers

Across all packages, our focus is clear:

• Your nights become calmer, more organized, and less reactive
• You gain a clear understanding of your baby’s cues and needs
• Your baby develops more predictable sleep and feeding patterns
• You are no longer guessing, you are following a plan that works

We combine attentive overnight care, real-time observation, and expert guidance to create results that hold beyond our time in your home.

Included in Every Gentle Giraffes Signature Package

Every package includes professional overnight newborn care tailored to your baby’s temperament, developmental stage, feeding needs, and family environment.

Attentive Overnight Care
During each overnight shift, your Gentle Giraffes Newborn Care Specialist provides calm, nurturing, and responsive care while parents receive the restorative sleep their bodies and minds need. Depending on your family’s feeding plan, overnight care may include:

• Professional overnight care (9:00 PM – 6:00 AM)
• Feeding support (breast, bottle, or combination)
• Diapering, soothing, and resettling
• Bottle and pump care
• Ongoing observation of sleep, feeding, and comfort patterns
• Calm, consistent, developmentally appropriate sleep support
• Clear documentation and communication
• Parent guidance and coaching between shifts

Our approach is healthy, responsive, sustainable habits, and results-driven, never rigid, never guesswork.

Gentle Sleep Foundations From the Beginning
Our approach is responsive, developmentally appropriate, and never based on harsh or rigid methods. We observe your baby’s natural patterns and gradually introduce healthy, sustainable sleep practices while continuing to respond to their needs. Our goal is to help your baby develop a positive relationship with sleep while feeling safe, supported, and understood.

Emotional and Nervous System Support
Newborns depend on calm, predictable, and responsive care as they adjust to life outside the womb. Your Newborn Care Specialist carefully observes your baby’s cues and responds in ways that support regulation, connection, comfort, and trust. Every recommendation for sleep, feeding, and soothing is considered within this nurturing framework.

Feeding and Digestive Awareness
Whether your baby is breastfed, bottle-fed, or combination, we help families observe feeding patterns and identify factors that may affect comfort, rest, or regulation. We may identify patterns involving:

• Feeding timing and volume
• Bottle or nipple flow
• Gas and digestive discomfort
• Spit-up or reflux-related symptoms
• Difficulty settling after feeds
• Body tension or discomfort
• Changes in feeding, sleep, or temperament

When concerns extend beyond our scope, we help families understand when it may be appropriate to consult their pediatrician, feeding specialist, OT’s, or another trusted provider.

Parent Coaching and Ongoing Guidance
Our work is not limited to the hours your specialist is physically in your home. Throughout your engagement, your family receives individualized education, observations, and guidance through agreed-upon text, email, phone, or Zoom support with your Newborn Care Specialist and, when appropriate, Erin, founder of Gentle Giraffes. You will receive thoughtful feedback from professionals who know your baby, your routines, and your family’s goals.
