“I had a very long labor which resulted in an emergency c-section, so rest and healing were essential for my immediate postpartum recovery. Having The Newborn Nurse and their esteemed staff help take care of my son in the evenings so my husband and I could recuperate was a literal lifesaver. I was able to wake up each morning well-rested to take care of my baby and really learn how to be a new mother without the sleep-deprivation.”
“The Newborn Nurse has been, by far, the best company we have used for night nursing. Each nurse we were able to have with our family came with a great spirit and a true love for infants. They made us feel very comfortable and provided us the ability to have a good night’s rest. We will continue to use The Newborn Nurse in the future as well as recommend them to our friends and family!”
“The best call we made after the boys arrived was to Rachel! She and her staff kept us sane and well rested and gave us such peace of mind. I really don’t know what we would have done without Rachel and all her wonderful nurses! They are life savers!”
“Kane nor I have family local right here in Nashville, so we used The Newborn Nurse company (for help with our new baby girl, Kingsley). I learned so much and they helped build my confidence as a mom and taught me everything. I was scared of everything when I brought Kingsley home, They taught me how to do baths the right way, and take temperatures, and I could ask them any breastfeeding questions… They are all nurses working in the NICU, or delivering babies, or lactation specialists, and to have them come to the house and hands-on teach us with our baby was just life changing, and made the whole experience even better.”
“Rachel has a gift. She loves babies AND Mamas, and recognizes the importance of caring for both. She will put you at ease knowing that not only is your precious baby in the capable, trained hands of a Registered Nurse, but also in the warm and loving hands of a natural nurturer. Moreover, Rachel understands that caring for the mother is essential for the well being of the entire family and offers mothers that same gift of loving care.”
“We did the Baby 101 class a couple of weeks before our firstborn was born. And we are so glad we did! Rachel is a true professional when it comes to babies and especially preparing new parents to all the new positive challenges that comes with it. With her help and hands-on way of teaching, it helped us smoothly adjust to new life with the little one. We highly recommend her services to all the new parents-to-be!”
