In general, due to the high demand of our top Baby Nurses, they are usually booked four to six months in advance of your due date. In the months leading up to your due date, your Baby Nurse will be in constant contact with you, monitoring your progress and discussing your individualized needs. In addition, your Baby Nurse will send you helpful information for you and baby on the way. In general, your Baby Nurse can be waiting for you and your new arrival upon the homecoming from the hospital, or can accompany you from the hospital, it's entirely your preference. Many clients choose to have their Baby Nurse come to the home one to two days before Mom and baby arrive in order to get the nursery and home in order for the homecoming.  Once the baby arrives, your Baby Nurse will work with you to establish your expectations and routine. Hiring a Baby Nurse will mean more rest for the new Mom, therefore, a quicker recovery time.
