Newborn Care Specialist
Heather Wise
Supporting Families Through the First Months
Congratulations! I'm sure you're filled with so many emotions from nervousness to joy! Well, I am here to ease any worry and walk you through the first months of your new babies life.
As a “Newborn Care Specialist” (NCS) I have received education in newborn care and any related issues.
My knowledge includes but is not limited to:
Formulas, breastfeeding and understanding how to effectively set up a routine that fits the family’s lifestyle. I will help you to interpret and adequately respond to the baby’s needs, establish healthy sleep habits and identify different diaper rashes and treatment.
I care for circumcisions and relieve symptoms from reflux & colic. I also know many different swaddling techniques, self-soothing techniques, and ultimately how to effectively set up the family for success.
I am experienced in preemies and multiples.
As an NCS, I generally work with a family for as little as one week or as long as three months (longer if requested). I will provide the parents with much needed sleep at night, educate the parents of essential newborn care instructions and will be there to give ongoing support and advice. I am available at night, during the day, or even 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If agreed upon, I will provide sleep-training services. Upon the culmination of this service and usually by the time the baby is 3 months old, the baby will be sleeping 10-12 hours a night.
I am willing to travel out of state and country
for the right families!
