baby nurse

Infant care specialist

A baby nurse is a caregiver hired to help with a newborn, typically living in or working extended hours during the first weeks after birth.

Unlike a nanny, the role is temporary and focused on the infant rather than older children.

Baby nurses handle nighttime feedings, establish sleep routines, and support new parents through the exhausting early period: We hired a baby nurse for the first month.
