Bridging the Gap Between the Hospital and the 6‑Week Checkup

Those first few days after birth are full of care.

Around-the-clock nurses. Frequent check-ins. Gentle guidance. Someone always nearby to answer questions or notice when something feels off.

And then, almost suddenly, you’re home.

Your baby is just days old. Your body is healing. Your hormones are shifting. Sleep is fragmented. And yet, for weeks on end, there’s often no one checking in on you.

No one assessing how you’re really doing, answering the questions that pop up at 2 a.m., or helping you make sense of this brand-new season.

At Choose Joy Nursing, we exist to bridge that gap.

Not to replace your medical care - but to wrap support, rest, education, and reassurance around your family during the most tender weeks of postpartum.

What In‑Home Postpartum Support Really Feels Like

Our night nurses don’t just “watch the baby.”

They care for the whole family.

This kind of care allows parents to:

  • Truly rest and recover

  • Feel held instead of overwhelmed

  • Ask questions without fear or pressure

  • Build confidence in caring for their baby

  • Heal - physically, emotionally, and mentally

You don’t go from being constantly monitored in the hospital to being completely on your own at home. You have someone walking with you through those early weeks.

What We Provide at Choose Joy Nursing

Our support begins before your baby arrives and continues through the heart of postpartum.

Thoughtful Care Before Birth

  • Access to our charge nurses and check-ins starting around 36 weeks of pregnancy

  • Guidance and reassurance as you prepare for postpartum and newborn life

Overnight Support That Allows Real Rest

  • Full overnight baby care so parents can sleep and recover

  • Middle-of-the-night breastfeeding and/or bottle-feeding support
    (We bring baby to you if breastfeeding, then handle everything afterward - burping, holding upright, swaddling, and settling baby back to sleep.)

  • Diapering, soothing, and upright holding to support digestion and comfort

  • Promotion of safe sleep practices to help reduce the risk of SIDS

Support for Moms (And Dads!) Too

  • Maternal support including help with personal care needs

  • Emotional check-ins and reassurance during the overnight hours

  • Space for partners to sleep, knowing baby and mom are both cared for

Education that Builds Confidence

  • Weekly updates and check-ins throughout your night nurse care period

  • Early access to our professional sleep schedules and coaching tools starting day one

  • Development of healthy sleep habits from the very beginning

  • Creation of a customized sleep and feeding schedule based on your baby’s weight, needs, and developmental milestones

Practical, Hands-On Help

  • Washing of bottles and pump parts

  • Milk collection, labeling, and storage for pumping moms

Every detail is designed so you can focus on healing, bonding, and becoming - without feeling stretched beyond what you were ever meant to carry alone.

You Don’t Have to Do This Without Support

So many parents are sent home feeling like they should know what they’re doing (even when they don’t).

At Choose Joy, you can freely ask the questions you want the answers to. About your baby’s care. Your own recovery. Breastfeeding. Bottle feeding. Sleep. Emotions. Healing. Expectations. All of it.

Our in-home nurses are there to answer those questions gently and without judgment.

This isn’t about doing everything “perfectly.”

It’s about how you feel:

  • Supported instead of alone

  • Rested instead of depleted

  • Confident instead of second-guessing

  • Calm instead of constantly on edge

A Gift That Lasts Beyond the Newborn Stage

In-home postpartum support isn’t just a luxury. It’s care that changes how families experience the fourth trimester.

It allows moms to heal. It allows parents to rest. It allows babies to thrive.

And it creates a foundation of peace, confidence, and health that carries far beyond those first few weeks.

Whether you’re gifting this care to yourself or to someone you love, know this: you deserve to be supported in postpartum.

And at Choose Joy Nursing, it’s our honor to walk with you through it.
