The Basics of Body Care for the Newborn

New parents are afraid of how to take good care of a baby with a fragile body. If you focus on the basics of newborn care in Atlanta, Georgia, you can build the confidence of doing the tasks yourself.

I am a single mother of twins and Rosalee was a tremendous help. She is compassionate, wonderful with my babies, punctual with a willingness to help new moms make it through the night. Being able to completely trust Rosalee allowed me to rest. I am so grateful for Rosalee’s assistance. I have recommended Rosalee numerous times and I know that she loves babies.

As a mother of 2 and a high school teacher I have lots of experience with youth, and Rosalee is right on board with what it takes to raise a happy, healthy and fully integrated child. She is an excellent listener with very sage advice. Highly recommend!

My wife and I are six weeks into new parenthood and cannot say enough good things about Mother’s Helping Hands Atlanta. We first had another night nurse that wanted to take over the house. This team has been a great fit and gets it – a good night nurse needs to take care of the baby but provide real help to the mothers. They have incredible knowledge about newborns, will give you their opinion without being pushy or inflexible, are proactive about helping and suggesting improvements and have nothing but the utmost respect for your family and home. We have completely enjoyed having their support and the proof is a happy infant on a good schedule.

Natasha embodies all of the qualities that one would look for in a nanny. She is warm and gentle and very attentive to my children. I never worry when they are in her care. I have left them with her several times for a week at a time and have gone on trips outside the country knowing that they were completely safe in her care. She has a serene and positive outlook on life, and my children love her. She also loves babies and was incredibly helpful when my youngest was born giving him his very first bath and spending lots of time holding and playing with him. Also she is extremely poised and can handle emergencies with decisive and appropriate actions.

Rosalee and her team are simply incredible. From the first night, I felt completely at ease in their care. They provided the most precious gift of rest as we recovered and adjusted to parenthood and gave our son gentle and loving care. I believe they truly understand the delicacy of this time and the vulnerability of having someone care for your child in your home while you sleep. They never once told us what to do but rather offered simple suggestions and helpful hints that allowed for big changes to happen. Only supportive, productive, and holistic care was offered to our family. They have also done an amazing job of getting our young son on a good sleeping track and given us the tools to keep it going. I can't say enough good things about Mother's Helping Hands and the wonderful ladies who helped us.

I remember the newborn days fondly and it is because of Rosalee. Rosalee is very caring, has a wealth of information, and is very reassuring to have around. She allowed me to enjoy and treasure those precious first months with our second baby. Best decision we made this time around! I wish we had Rosalee help with our first baby too.

Rosalee has been a caregiver in our home for months. We have two sons. One two-year-old and a nine-week-old. We have had several caregivers, but none compared to Rosalee. Our two year old immediately bonded to her. Since then we have come to count on her expertise, judgement, and skill in caring for babies. Rosalee has cared for our children under a number of circumstances including us working from home, while we've been away from home, and has been an incredible resource with her night nurse services for our infant son. She is one of the most conscientious and astute caregivers we know. Any family would be lucky to have her.

Natasha is very dependable, very thoughtful, very thorough, and very kind. My children light up when she arrives in the morning, and I am comforted during the work day knowing that they are in her care. She is very even-tempered and patient. She carries with her much experience with children, both her own and others that she has been the nanny for and understands the nuances and challenges of each developmental stage. She has been a source of some much-valued advice, and has helped us through potty training and the integration of a baby into my daughter’s life. I am heartbroken that we will be moving out of the Atlanta area and will have to find other child care in Austin, Texas, as I am sure that we will be unable to find any that compares.

Rosalee, of Mothers Helping Hands Atlanta L.L.C., has been an irreplaceable member of our family for the past few weeks. As a first time mom, I was unaware of how exhausting having a newborn could be! Rosalee takes initiative when she is in our home – helping to prepare meals for my husband and stepson (10), doing light laundry, cleaning bottles and most of all taking extraordinary care of my baby girl who she treats and handles as if she were her own. Whenever she sets foot in our doorway, I can breathe a sigh of relief because I know someone is here to take care of all the little things (especially me)! At a time when all of your energy goes into your new baby, how wonderful to have someone care for you! Her guidance, baby know-how, kind spirit and strong work ethic have made such a difference in my life as a new mother. She gave me time to help find my feet. If you're considering a post-partum doula, this is really a no brainier. You'll be thanking your lucky stars that you found her.

Rosalee has been with our family since the birth of our daughter. She came highly recommended to us as a Baby Night Nurse. She was an extremely valuable coach for us, helping us understand what we needed to do to get everything prepared and the importance of establishing a routine with the baby. She is very knowledgeable, reliable, possesses good judgment, and truly enjoys what she does. She helped with sleep training, feeding, and provided us with peace of mind. Having Rosalee’s help allowed me and my husband to get some rest and focus on bonding and enjoying time with our baby. Rosalee was instrumental in getting our daughter on a feeding and sleeping schedule from the start, and as a result, our daughter slept through the night at 9 weeks and has been a great sleeper ever since. Our daughter is almost 5, and we still use Rosalee’s services whenever we need some help. My husband and I have full confidence in Rosalee and would recommend her services to anyone.
