newborn specialist

Baby health expert

A newborn specialist is a caregiver trained to support families during the first weeks after a baby arrives, typically providing overnight care so parents can sleep.

Unlike nannies, newborn specialists focus specifically on the infant period—usually the first three months—and may help establish feeding and sleep routines: We hired a newborn specialist for the first six weeks.
