Welcome and Congratulations on your new baby!
I'm Carol a Newborn Care Specialist in the Dallas,TX area.
I know to some people having someone care for their infant's at night is a completely foreign concept. But we no longer have a village to help support new parents care for their baby. Sometimes you need someone to simply be there to support your new role as a parent and help teach you to care for your new baby while I gently guide baby so they sleep through the night.
While working with your family what I strive to:
Educate and support parents.
Help make the transition into parenthood go more smoothly.
Troubleshoot potential issues of concern
Maintain a thorough log of infant feeding and sleep patterns
Swaddle and teach parents how to do Hip-Healthy Swaddling!
Show parents of multiples how to tandem feed
Sooth babies using skilled and proven techniques that help calm the newborn and teach you these same techniques!
Provide care for the newborn:
• Diapering
• Changing
• Bathing
• Circumcision Care if needed
• Bottle Preparation (Breastmilk & Formula) or bring baby to Mom
• Bottle Cleaning
Organization & Maintenance of Nursery
Create a regular feeding schedule
Assist in establishing healthy sleep habits
Take over complete care of newborn at night to provide parents time to sleep
If I'm working daytime hours I will endeavor to create a nurturing and stimulating environment for your baby and at night help baby learn to self sooth and to care for your baby while you get some sleep!
My goal is to not only to teach the baby(ies) healthy sleep habits but to have YOU the parent feel comfortable and confident taking care of your Baby when I leave.
