Baby Nurses & More

You might have to plan for a few weeks or months of
transition time for you; and your household now that your
newborns home.

Luckily, thanks to the wonders of ultrasound technology,
women carrying more than one baby are rarely taken by
surprise these days. If you're pregnant with twins or triplets,
there is a good chance you'll be consigned to bed rest for at
least the last month of your pregnancy, if not the last
trimester. What's more, multiples have an 85 percent
probability of arriving early. Hence, securing a baby nurse
early will leave you with less to worry about after your bundle
of joy comes home.

Because most mothers of multiples pregnancies are hard and
their deliveries often end with a c-section, not only do they
have twice or three times the work once the babies arrive(I
won't even talk about Quad!), they also have a greater need
to recuperate.

One of the most pressing issues with multiples are the
seemingly nonstop work for moms and the need for her to
make the time to be with each baby separately and to find
time for herself. Not surprisingly, mothers of multiples are
more receptive to having a baby nurse because they help to
simplify their life.

A Baby Nurse/Coach is a new born specialist. Most baby
nurses are not registered nurses or licensed practical
nurses. Rather, they are people with a deep understanding
of the developmental and physical stages of newborns. Most
have taken courses to stay current with the latest newborn
philosophies. Some have even completed special programs
to enhance their skills and comfort level.
