Freedom Home Care and Medical Staffing’s Newborn Care Program is designed to assist new mothers and fathers in their own home as they learn to care for their new child. Whether the mother is remaining in the hospital for a longer recovery period, the baby has special needs such as jaundice care, or both responsible parties are unable to provide full care for the newborn, Freedom Home Care and Medical Staffing is here to help! Our Newborn Care services give parents the help they need to ease into life with a new baby at home.

For many people, going home with a newborn baby is the most exciting – and most terrifying moment of their lives. Newborns have many needs like frequent feedings and diaper changes, and their needs may not always be obvious to new parents. After all, babies can’t tell us what they want or why they’re crying! Newborns can also have health issues that are different from older children and adults like a diaper rash and cradle cap. FHC’s Newborn Care helps educate new parents on how to best handle both the unexpected and daily needs of newborn babies.

Our caregivers and certified nursing assistants are available not just to help you learn the best, most efficient ways of keeping your new baby happy and healthy – we’re also here to help you develop confidence, understanding and practical skills that will help you transition with your new family.
