You heard what a babynurse is but did you know that they are even more specialized babynurses!
A Multiples Baby Nurse is experienced with caring for two or more babies at a time. They are skilled in helping and teaching parents how to negotiate the unique challenges of caring for more than one baby at a time. A Multiples Baby Nurse is also knowledgeable about the ongoing concerns and special needs of preemies. Their ability to support parents also includes getting them both onto a schedule and helping with sleep training.
Maybe you are a bit overwhelmed with the thought of how to manage multiples on a budget but you can do it! Here are some helpful tips by Elizabeth Sneller from www2.itsa-belly.com
A 59-year-old woman in France has given birth by Caesarean section to triplets, who are said to be in good health, according to the Paris hospital that is treating them.
“Everything went smoothly,” a spokesman at the Cochin hospital told Agence France-Presse. He said the babies, two boys and a girl, were delivered Saturday night
The woman, who is married to a man in his 40s, reportedly went to a private Vietnamese clinic willing to overlook the age limit set at 45 for egg donation and in-vitro fertilization, AFP reported.
But like the 59-year-old woman, age limits have not stopped other women from seeking IVF overseas.
Earlier this year, a 70-year-old Indian woman gave birth to twins after receiving IVF treatment.
And in May 2007, Frieda Birnbaum, 60, gave birth to twin boys, becoming the oldest woman to give birth to twins in the United States.
Birnbaum told FOXNews.com she underwent IVF in 2006 in Cape Town, South Africa.
The twins were delivered at Hackensack University Medical Center in Hackensack, N.J., via Caesarean section.
What kind of help do you need? This is often a question I am asked. It will depend on your comfort level and whether or not your husband or other family is available. With a singleton you can learn to manage on your own but help is nice to lighten your load. With twins, you can manage on your own but your energy level will depend on if you are breastfeeding and if you have other children. It would be best to know you have a night or two break. With triplets help is quite neccessary. The average feeding can last as long as an hour and a half. This only leaves you with an hour and half of "down" time which isn’t much. The lack of sleep with any baby is exausting but with two and more babies it’s very difficult. Do all you can to prepare yourself for the up coming changes.
Help is: Meals, Cleaning, Sibling Care, Errand Runs, Laundry, Helping with a feeding.
Make things simple: Have in the home bottled water, paper plates and cups, paper towels, prepared fresh veggies and fruit, high fiber foods, frozen meals.
SLOGGING through endless nights with a newborn baby has long been a parenting rite of passage. But for some dual-income parents, the arrival of the night nanny is making those 2 a.m. interruptions a thing of the past.
Demand for overnight nannies — also known as newborn specialists — has been growing, especially in the last five years and largely in major metropolitan areas, said Wendy Sachs, the co-president of the International Nanny Association and the founder of the Philadelphia Nanny Network. “People have moved away from the places they grew up, and they don’t have family down the street to help them out,” she said.
The trend reflects changing attitudes about child care. Parents no longer see outside child care “as bad for kids or neglectful on their part — child care is seen as a necessity, not a luxury,” said Christine Carter, a sociologist who directs the Greater Good Science Center, an interdisciplinary research center at the University of California, Berkeley. “If it is good during the day, why wouldn’t it also be helpful at night?”…..http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/13/jobs/13starts.html?_r=2&oref=slogin
