Overnight Newborn Care is a service provided 5 to 7 nights per week for the first 8 to 16 weeks of your baby’s life. When a Newborn Care Specialist (NCS) comes to your home, they will always follow the AAP recommended safe sleep guidelines with your baby at night. They will bottle feed or bring the baby to momma for feeding, take care of diaper changing, collect and store pumped breastmilk if needed, clean and sanitize all feeding equipment used that night, and over time, wean the baby off of their nighttime feedings using sleep conditioning techniques.

With 24/7 care, from the day they enter the world, a newborn care specialist will be at your baby’s service at all times of day. While the sun is up, we establish daytime feeding, play, and sleep routines that grow and develop along with your newborn(s), and when the sun sets, we continue care throughout the night so everyone in your family gets the rest they need. Most importantly, an NCS is a round-the-clock educator for your baby’s caregivers, who will empower you and your family to feel confident in caring for your baby/babies even after the contract ends.

Moonlit Cradles uses gentle sleep shaping techniques, like soothing your baby in their safe sleep space, and utilizing environmental cues, to teach your newborn when it’s time to sleep. Sleep is the most important element for your newborn’s ability to thrive, but managing a newborn’s wakeful nights on top of their engaging days can quickly become a parent’s greatest challenge - especially if there’s more than one baby! Hire an NCS so you and your whole family can rest and thrive!
