A baby nurse is a trained infant specialist who comes to your home to help you care for your newborn.  You set their hours and they can stay for just a few hours a day or round the clock for 24 hour support for up to several weeks.  They can also help with household chores such as laundry, dishes and cooking.  Use this baby nurse directory so you can get the support you need after giving birth.  Breastfeeding moms may want to check out my list of post partum doulas as well.
