Overnight Care
Why do we work overnights?
Because a healthy and productive sleep pattern
for both children and parents is a cornerstone
for positive development!
For Infants:
We aim to encourage your infants to learn to sleep through the night. During our stay, we work to increase the time between feedings in order to lengthen nightly sleeping periods.
For Mother:
We look to build confidence in new mothers, to nurture, encourage, and support them in their expanded role. Well-rested mothers will be better prepared to care for their newborns, and good sleep is necessary for promoting breast milk production. Breast feeding exclusively is often challenging, and feeding options might include a combination of breast feeding, pumping and formula. However you decide, The Bluebirds will be there to provide advice, support and encouragement as you determine the right path for your family.
