Similar to Overnight Newborn Care Specialist in their scope of practice and quality of care, though role may vary/adapt to fit needs of infant/family during the day versus night.  Although a newborn is usually asleep an equal amount during the day as during the night, (about 8 ½ / 8 ½ hr ratio) an NCS may not need to rest and therefore can help with a variety of daytime needs.  A newborn care specialist is a highly specialized and trained childcare provider who focuses on the care and wellbeing of the newborn.  We will help establish good feeding and sleeping habits. We are familiar with the behaviors, appearance, and general care of the newborn.  An “NCS” goal is to establish healthy feeding and sleep patterns and often has experience working with preemies and multiples.  The “NCS” works hard to support a family’s values, educate and upbuild the parents, and keep up to date in the latest information and studies in newborn care.  We can recognize abnormal symptoms and can help troubleshoot many common issues in infants.  A Newborn Care Specialist knows the limits of their scope of practice and follows them.
