Overnight Support Services
Everyone says that one of the most difficult parts of being a new mother is sleeplessness. Cumulatively, until proper sleep-wake patterns are established, it can take its toll, causing irritability, lack of focus, and diminishment of enjoyment in your baby’s early days. With our Overnight Support Services – an important part of our postpartum care – a member of our qualified team can take over, lessening this burden for you and your family, and allowing you the much-needed rest to continue on the journey.
Overnight Support – for Feeding
When a family needs a night here or there of much-needed sleep, Gentle Giraffes’ overnight support service can help!
Proper rest is so optimal to our functioning as human beings, that the opportunity to get a solid night’s rest is one of the sweetest things a new mom can get.
Based on the desired feeding method, team members will either bring the baby to you or use stored breast milk or formula, followed by burping and comforting your baby before their return to sleep, allowing you the maximum rest possible.
Overnight Support- for Changing
Feeding isn’t all that’s required during those middle-of-the-night hours.
A wet diaper will wake a small baby just as fast as their hunger, so when this happens on our overnight shift – either as part of a feeding or as a separate need – Gentle Giraffe’s staff will take care of it.
You can rest peacefully knowing that a member of our capable and compassionate staff has it covered.
Overnight
Support – for Soothing
Babies’ needs during the night can vary as much as they do during the day. After feeding, changing, and at various other times, newborns need a lot of snuggling or may even need to be held upright.
Our overnight support staff will respond to the varying needs and promptings of your baby so that you can get the well-deserved night of sleep you need.
