Amie
Triangle Mothercare Night Nurse, Prenatal Technician and CNA. While welcoming a new baby into your life is amazing, it can also be exhausting!

She will help with newborn feeding (she can bring baby to you to breastfeed so you can stay comfortable in bed), help with latching on or pumping and preparing bottles. Then Amie will soothe baby back to sleep and encourage healthy sleep habits appropriate for baby’s age. Getting good sleep (for mom) leads to a lower risk of postpartum depression and anxiety, better health, better breastmilk supply, more harmony with your family, being able to function better at work and overall enjoyment of parenthood. If you have other children, you will be more bright-eyed and bushy-tailed to parent them in the morning, too!
