when could you use support?
Picture

daytime

A few days or many, choose the amount of support that you need to feel ready to do it on your own. Some parents prefer a schedule of as many as 4-5 days a week for the first week or two and then a gradual weaning of support as they feel more confident and well rested. Others want only a few days after their baby is born. Every family’s needs are different. Either way, my aim is to work myself out of a job! 
A minimum of four hours a day is required

evening

Evening support can provide an opportunity for some evening-specific guidance or to get some extra rest during this unique, sometimes fussy, time of day. It can stand alone or be alternated with daytime support or overnights. 
A minimum of four hours an evening is required

overnight

The main goal of overnight visits are to build in some longer periods of sleep for you.  It can be a nice treat to have a break from keeping half an ear open for your baby's feeding cues. I'll do that for you — and bring your little one in just to nurse, gently wake you to pump, or offer your baby that feeding by bottle myself.  Overnight visits are commonly 10pm-6am, but are designed around your unique needs. It’s helpful to have a few minutes to chat together before you head off to bed; catching me up on your day; giving you time to share how things are going; to share about the household tasks you’d like completed while you & baby sleep. 
A minimum of eight hours for overnight is required
