What we do at a glance!
-
A night nanny is a common term that a lot of families are familiar with (we don’t mind if you call us that!) but we are actually Newborn Care Specialists and Postpartum Doulas. We provide in-home support with your baby during the night so you can get some sleep. We also provide emotional support, lactation guidance, sleep guidance and external resources that you may need along the way to make your postpartum amazing!
-
Depending on your needs, they may feed the baby (or bring baby to you for nursing), change diapers, soothe them back to sleep, and keep notes on how the nights go. Some also offer sleep guidance or lactation support.
-
Absolutely! We’ll bring baby to you for feeds, help you navigate pumping in the night (if you choose), and offer any guidance if you are having any lactation troubles. Many of our clients say that having the support & extra sleep actually has been a game-changer in reaching their breastfeeding goals!
-
Every family is different, but most clients start with 4 or 5 nights per week for the first months and taper off as they get into a good flow. Many of our families keep up for 12-16 weeks. We can help you customize the support to fit your sleep needs and budget. Visit this page to see how we customize the schedules for our families.
-
Yes! We also offer gentle sleep shaping as an add-on to help lay healthy sleep foundations from the beginning. Our in-home sleep coaching is available if more structured help is needed later.
Additionally, all of our overnight families receive a complimentary Sleep Guide, written by one of our sleep coaches!
-
Our team specializes in newborns and postpartum recovery. We’re trained in infant care, feeding, sleep support, and parent education. We work nights so you can rest.
Hello! I’m so happy that you are here & I hope that you find the support and community you are looking for at Oh Baby! KC.
I’m Mary - the owner & Family Care Coordinator here at Oh Baby. I’ll be the first person you will speak to when you set up your initial consult & the one who sets all of our families up with their care team.
In 2016, when I started my journey as a new postpartum doula, I had a vision to support families like yours & to build a team that was not only empathetic and intuitive to the needs of the families we serve, but who was professional and who maintained a standard of excellence in our industry. I hope that in having us in your home, you will see for yourself that we have succeeded to do so. Because there should be no other standard when it comes to the care of you and your baby.
