A glimpse into a postpartum night shift

I often get questions from potential clients, family and friends that ask me what it is that I exactly do when I'm at “work.” So, I thought that I would share an example of an actual night shift I've recently done. During my shifts I take detailed notes, so that parents know how their baby's night went. I thought that I would share my notes with you here and let you take a little peek into what I do.

The 4th trimester

I want to talk a little bit about the 4th trimester and how important this time is for baby. The 4th trimester is the month of life after baby is born. It is named this to be perceived as an extension to the third trimester in the womb, where baby is still developing. Many parents bring their sweet newborns home, not knowing much about this tiny little human or how important the first 4 weeks are adjusting to this brand new outside world.

Leaky Boobs?

Let’s start with boobs, cause why not? A large chunk of the first few months of newborn life is about boobs. I'll be expanding on this topic later, but this is a good place to start. Breastfeeding requires so much work and “stuff.” Sometimes choosing the best products while nursing and adjusting to being a new mommy can be overwhelming.
