- Light undisruptive housework may be done (baby laundry, washing and prepping bottles)
- Breastfeeding clients: baby will be brought to you to nurse, then I will burp, soothe, and settle your baby
- Bottle-feeding babies will be completely taken care of throughout the night
- Or try a combination of breast and bottle!
- Wrapping up the night includes a final diaper change, feeding, and washing of any bottles used (time permitted)
