What is a Baby Nurse? 

A baby nurse is a newborn care specialist who is highly educated, skilled and trained in all areas regarding infant care and parental care. Baby nurses are not registered nurses, but are highly experienced in caring for newborn babies. Baby nurses help families to become familiar with and educated on all the day-to-day tasks and challenges that come with a new baby. Families typically hire a baby nurse for the baby's first 4-12 weeks.
