Night nurse for newborn?

Hi everyone! Smile

Thanks in advance for your help. I have advised that it would be good to hire a night nurse to help out for the first few months that our baby is born. Do any of you know where to find one or have you had a good experience of somethat that you can recommend? Thanks in advance. 

Feel free to send a private message if you prefer. My email is twechan at yahoo

Thanks!

    YESSSSSS! It saved our lives! I had PPD and the lack of sleep was driving me seriously crazy.

     I used "After the Stork" They are in MV or RSM. It is pricey though- I think like $150 a night so we only used them a handful of time but it was worth it to get a full night's sleep.

    I'm korean, and it's typical to hire a live-in nanny for the first 30 days after birth. They cost about $3000-4000 per month, which includes cooking, cleaning, nanny-ing.  I didn't get one, since my mom helped out so much, but let me know if you want more information.

    Thank you for your responses. Yes, I would love to get more information from you all. Since we will not have parents around to help, the extra help will be help especially since my husband doesn't get any time off either. Thanks everyone!

    Hey look what I found? :)

    The rates seem reasonable, especially if they are for nighttime only.

    Regarding my previous post about the Korean nanny, that'll probably only work if you are Korean (lol, sorry I didn't say it before, duh me) since they only speak Korean.

    hey Chinese have those "first month centers" too.  You actually live with them but they cook all those "sit month" food and they help with the baby. The mom is there to recuperate.
