Nights held with care

Overnight Newborn Care

Sleep is not a luxury in the fourth trimester — it is how you heal. Overnight care means someone experienced is awake with your baby so your body can do the deep, restorative work it needs.

Who this is for

Families in the first weeks or months home who are running on fragments of sleep, recovering from birth, or caring for multiples.

What's included

  • Overnight in-home care, typically 8–12 hour shifts
  • Gentle feeding support — breast, bottle, pumping, or combination
  • Bringing baby to you for feeds, or full bottle care so you can sleep through
  • Diapering, swaddling, and soothing that follows your baby's cues
  • Nursery reset: bottles washed, laundry folded, supplies restocked
  • A short morning handoff so you wake up knowing how the night went
  • Clients are also invited into the private beta of Vela, our fourth-trimester maternal health platform.

What this looks like

You go to bed at nine

Not with one ear open — genuinely asleep, knowing your baby is with someone who reads their cues fluently.

Rhythms take shape gently

Night and day begin to differentiate through light, feeding timing, and attunement — never through leaving a baby alone with big feelings.

You learn as you rest

Morning notes tell you what your baby did, what they seemed to need, and what to expect tonight.

Common questions

Do you use cry-it-out?
Never. Rest is built through responsiveness, natural biological rhythms, and attunement to your baby's cues — an approach informed by The Happy Sleeper and Brazelton's developmental framework.
Can you support breastfeeding overnight?
Yes. As a Lactation Educator trained with CAPPA, Ashlee can bring baby to you for feeds, help with latch and positioning in the dark, and manage pumped bottles and cleanup.
Which neighborhoods do you serve?
San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, Daly City, Pacifica, and Sausalito.
