Consulting & Training
The need to establish good routines for your baby can’t be underestimated. In the first few months after the baby’s arrival, the idea of a solid night of rest seems far off and impossible to imagine. Will a sense of order, routine, and normalcy ever return, you might ask?!
Yes, indeed! Gentle Giraffes will consult with you on all aspects of bringing order back into your world – setting up your registry in advance so as to be properly outfitted and equipped, using those and other items to arrange your nursery and the rest of your home, and so on until you feel comfortable and ready.
Sleep conditioning and training is another part of restoring order to your world, and when it’s done properly and at the right time, it may feel like magic! Peace and order will return to your household as babies learn to not only fall asleep naturally but stay asleep.
Gentle Giraffes knows that each baby and each household is different, so we’re glad to meet with you regarding your particular situation. We do day, overnight, and 24-hour shifts and can make observations, recommend an appropriate plan, and help you follow through with making it a reality.
Our vast experience with all-matters-baby has led us to develop some specific packages appropriate to the wide variety of our client’s needs. For teaching, for guidance, support, and respite, they’ve proven invaluable. For expectant parents, for example, we offer one package, for mothers in the last weeks before delivery or on bedrest, another package, and other packages address questions and issues specific to sleep and breastfeeding or provide drop-in support or other respite. Some involve phone consultations, while others in-person assistance. Our packages are as varied as those who may choose them.
What Our Clients Are Saying?
“When my husband and I found out we were pregnant, we knew we needed extra help, (especially at night), was a necessity, so we found Gentle Giraffes. The newborn care specialists we worked with were reliable, caring and professional.”
~ Emily, Brookline
“We used Erin for the birth of our third daughter, Freja. It was our first time using a Newborn Care Specialist, and honestly, our only question has been why didn’t do it for our others!”
~ Amanda, Jamaica Plain
“When you are leaving your child in someone else’s care, especially a newborn, you need to have the full confidence in the caregiver – The Gentle Giraffes team epitomized that confidence.”
~ Ana, Cambridge
