Overnight Newborn Care, Feeding Support, and Rest for Vermont Families
Overnight infant care provides hands-on support during the night so parents can rest and recover. Providers help with feeding, diapering, soothing, and monitoring newborns while caregivers sleep — offering a sense of ease during a time that can feel exhausting and unpredictable. Whether you’re healing after birth, managing feeding challenges, or simply trying to survive the early weeks, overnight care can give your family the rest and stability you need.
