Overnight Care
Giving birth, and bring new babies into the world is EXHAUSTING! Sometimes all you really need is a good night’s sleep. Imagine if you could get some rest and wake up with your laundry folded, bottles and pump parts washed, and content babies? It’s not too good to be true! We can help.

Doula Support At Night
The Maven Difference
You may know the term, “Night Nurse” or “Baby Nurse”, these are terms that should be used for actual nurses: RN’s, LPN’s, etc. Our overnight care is all inclusive; we support your entire family. We can sit with a nursing mom at night and make sure she has a glass of water, a snack and a shoulder to lean on. Or we can feed your newborn while you tend to your toddler who is having a bad dream. Overnight support should be whatever will help your family the most! Every night and every family is different.
A New Day
Did you know that sleep deprivation is the leading cause of many health issues? Families need more sleep; it can be hard to be a good parent when you are exhausted. When you have us in your home for overnight support, we want you to have the peace of mind that your new little bundle of joy is in competent, experienced hands. When you wake in the morning we want you to feel like you can take on the world! Our goal is to leave you feeling well rested, your home with a few less tasks for you to tackle, and your baby with a full belly and a big smile for you.
“I can’t express how incredible working with The Baby Mavens was. Not only did they allow us to get sleep with newborn twins but they taught us a ton! Their expertise and advice ranged from sleep to diapers to formula to feeding help...they were everything we needed!” - Katie, first time mom of twins
What does an overnight look like?
When we arrive at your home, we will check in with you and see how your day was, see if there are any questions we can answer and get you to bed right away! While you sleep, we will care for your baby: diaper changes, feedings, swaddling, rocking and all of the cuddles that your baby needs. If you are breastfeeding and wish to do so overnight, we bring baby to you for a nursing session and then we do the rest; optimizing your rest! If your baby is bottle fed, or when you are ready for your breastfed baby to have bottles, we wake with baby for feedings. While baby is sleeping, we can fold a basket of laundry, empty your dishwasher, wash bottles and pump parts, and any other quiet chores that will help your family. Our postpartum packages can be used for overnight or daytime support.
Why we recommend daytime support in addition to your overnights!
The Baby Mavens know that sleep is important! During an overnight, our goal is to get you as much rest as you need; our goal is to always optimize your sleep and rest! We recommend that you consider having some daytime support too. This allows us to provide a little more education, whether it be about moving baby to a schedule when you are ready, or tips and tricks for digestive issues. Daytime support can also allow you a chance to find your new normal, and having an extra set of hands around to do so can be immensely helpful in those first weeks and months.
