What You’ll Learn in a Virtual Newborn Consultation

Welcoming a newborn into your home is a truly magical experience. However, we’d be lying if we said it didn’t come with a significant learning curve – and lots and lots of questions! That’s why virtual newborn consultations from trusted experts (like our Newborn Nightingales team) can be an invaluable resource. 

Essentially, our newborn consultations offer personalized support and expert insights from the comfort of your living room. Read on to learn exactly what to expect from a newborn consultation with our team. 

Mastering the Basics

Trust us – even the most prepared of parents can feel overwhelmed when it comes to newborn care. That’s why our virtual consultations (email or phone) walk you through essential daily tasks and offer clear, step-by-step instructions. 

• Optimal Feeding Techniques. Whether you're breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, or a combination of the two, we'll help you troubleshoot challenges, ensure proper latch or bottle positioning, and address concerns like colic or reflux. 

• Diapering and Hygiene Best Practices. Learn proper diapering techniques, how to handle umbilical cord care, bathing tips, and so much more. We'll cover everything from safe bathing practices to gentle fingernail clipping.

• Soothing and Swaddling. Is your baby fussy? We'll teach you proven soothing techniques to help calm your baby – especially those with colic or reflux. We’ll also go over proper swaddling methods to promote secure and peaceful sleep.

• Understanding Baby Behaviors. From their cries to their reflexes, understanding what your baby is communicating alleviates stress and offers peace-of-mind. Our infant care experts will help you interpret your newborn’s cues and respond effectively.

  
  

Building Healthy Sleep Habits from Day One

Sleep (or the lack thereof) is often the biggest challenge for new parents. However, rest assured (pun intended) that our virtual consultations will help your newborn establish healthy sleep habits.

• Age-Appropriate Sleep Routines. Our infant care experts will develop personalized routines that are suitable for your baby's age and developmental stage. Our main goal? To help your baby gradually learn to sleep longer stretches. 

• Creating a Safe Sleep Environment. We’ll evaluate your baby’s sleep environment and offer our expert suggestions.

• Napping Guidelines. We’ll help you foster consistent napping habits that support healthy sleep habits.
