Yes! We absolutely work with families expecting or welcoming multiples. We have the experience and expertise to support the unique demands that come with caring for more than one newborn at a time.Caring for multiples is a wonderful but uniquely intense experience — from coordinating feeding schedules to establishing synchronized sleep routines, the challenges are real and the need for skilled support is even greater. Our Newborn Care Specialists are well-versed in the strategies that make life with multiples more manageable and more joyful.We bring an additional team member to ensure every baby receives the attentive, hands-on care they deserve. This second caregiver is a trained professional working under the guidance of your lead Newborn Care Specialist. A small add-on fee applies for the additional support.Please note that we currently support families with up to triplets.

Newborn Care Specialist (NCS) is a trained professional who specializes exclusively in the care of newborns, typically from birth through the first few months of life. An NCS has dedicated education and hands-on training in newborn sleep, feeding (breast and bottle), soothing techniques, and infant development. Many hold certifications through recognized organizations. They work closely with parents to establish routines, offer guidance, and provide expert support during the newborn stage.Night Nanny is a more informal term for someone who comes to your home overnight to care for your baby so parents can sleep. A night nanny may or may not have specialized newborn training — the title carries no standardized certification or credential requirements. The level of expertise can vary widely from person to person.Night Nurse is a common term used by many families, but it is worth noting that it can be misleading — most people in this role are not registered nurses. Unless your provider holds an active nursing license, "night nurse" simply refers to someone providing overnight newborn care, much like a night nanny. If medical-level care is important to you, always verify credentials.

Both a Postpartum Doula and a Newborn Care Specialist (NCS) provide valuable support after your baby arrives, but their focus and scope of care are quite different.A Postpartum Doula is trained to support the whole family during the postpartum period. Their primary focus is on the birthing parent's physical and emotional recovery, as well as the family's overall transition into life with a new baby. A postpartum doula may help with light household tasks, meal preparation, sibling adjustment, infant feeding support, and emotional reassurance. They work during daytime hours most commonly, and their care is centered on nurturing the parents as much as the baby.A Newborn Care Specialist (NCS) is a specialist whose focus is primarily the newborn. Their expertise lies in infant sleep, feeding, soothing, scheduling, and development. An NCS is highly skilled at establishing routines, troubleshooting feeding challenges, and helping babies develop healthy sleep habits from the start. They most commonly work overnight shifts, though many also offer daytime support. Their role is more technical and baby-centered, and they often work more independently with the infant while parents rest.

Every family's needs are different, and we always tailor our recommendations to your unique situation. That said, here are some general guidelines to help you plan:For Overnight Newborn Care, most families find that 3–5 nights per week strikes the right balance — enough consecutive rest for parents to recover and function well, while remaining a manageable investment. Families navigating multiples, birth recovery complications, or a lack of local support often benefit from nightly coverage, at least in the early weeks.For Postpartum Doula Support, 2–4 daytime visits per week is a common starting point, particularly in the first 6–8 weeks. This allows for consistent guidance on feeding, recovery, baby care, and household rhythm without feeling overwhelming.Our honest advice? More support in the early weeks leads to better outcomes for the whole family. It is far easier to scale back as you find your footing than to start with too little and run on empty.We are happy to talk through your specific situation during a consultation and help you find the right level of care for your family and your budget.
