Congratulations! You've made it through the nine long months of pregnancy, followed by childbirth - which could also mean hours of labour! So now you can breathe a sigh of relief because those are the hardest parts right? You get to go home and enjoy building a life with your newborn baby.
But then you get home and you realise - babies aren't born with instruction manuals! And you feel like you have no idea what you're doing!
There's so much information available out in the world in books, magazines, the internet - everyone is ready to give you some advice. But what could be better than having an experienced hand with you, in your own home, helping you to get through this sometimes tough - but always amazing time?
That's where home care providers come in.
When you come home from the hospital, it's always better to have someone there to help you with your newborn - especially with today's short hospital stays. Having a baby alone is already takes a very big toll on you, both physically and emotionally. And while you're still recovering newborn babies can be very intimidating - not to mention exhausting!
You'll have a lot of questions as a new parent about the care of your baby. And a lot of friends will want to come over to meet the new little one! So to manage all of that, along with your family and pets may need extra help!
And a professional baby home caregiver can help you ease your nerves and give you the support you need to become an independent and confidant parent. Oh, and there's that other part about helping you to get some shut-eye - you definitely need some rest!
Daytime care
While you're still trying to adjust to parenting, you might feel like you don't have enough hours in a day! A home carer for your baby will help you manage better by looking after baby while you take a nap. Home carers can also look after your baby for you while you work or run errands throughout the day. In most cases they can also help you out with some light cleaning around the house, cooking meals and running errands for you.
Overnight care
Overnight caregivers are usually the highest in demand! Taking care of a baby all day is already quite exhausting. All you want after a long day is to have a good night's sleep. But with baby crying and waking you up throughout the night that just doesn't happen! That's why many mommies have a home caregiver to look after their babies during the night so that they can be well rested for the next day.
24-hour care
This is usually necessary when you've experiences a complicated pregnancy or delivery - or your little one is ill. An experienced care giver or in some cases a neo-natal nurse can help you to take care of a sick little one and make it much easier for you. You're already exhausted, and a sick baby is even more taxing. Many home health care agencies will have a few different carers or nurses to rotate in shifts - that way you'll have someone with fresh energy looking after your little one.
There's no shame in getting help with you newborn baby - in fact it should be applauded as proof that you want only the best for you baby!
Professional home carers for babies and specialist neo-natal nurses can be just the lifeline you need to make your experience a very happy one!
