Night Nurse Santa Monica | Physician-Led Overnight Newborn Care

Think of Santa Monica nights split into feeds, settles and notes: your specialist tracks each one from bedtime until morning while you sleep elsewhere in the house. Many Santa Monica condos put the nursery next to the primary bedroom, so our specialists keep lights low and voices lower.

Yes—we place night nurses across North of Montana, Ocean Park, Sunset Park and Wilshire-Montana, and also in neighboring Brentwood, Pacific Palisades and Venice. North of Montana, Ocean Park, Sunset Park and Wilshire-Montana are all regular stops, along with Venice and Mar Vista.

Many Santa Monica families deliver at Providence Saint John's Health Center, on Santa Monica Boulevard, with its McAlister Women's Health Center maternity unit. Sleep & Cradle® Health is an independent in-home service, not a hospital unit, and is not affiliated with any hospital named here. Your obstetric and pediatric teams remain your source of medical care. Saint John's sits right in Santa Monica, so the ride home after delivery is often only a few minutes.

That works just as well. Families who deliver at Cedars head back west on the 10 or Olympic.

No. We come to your Santa Monica home after discharge, and our role is overnight newborn care, not medical treatment. Sleep & Cradle® Health is an independent in-home service, not a hospital unit, and is not affiliated with any hospital named here. Your obstetric and pediatric teams remain your source of medical care. Since Saint John's is in town, parents sometimes assume we are its home-care arm; we are not.

Shifts are fixed, so your specialist plans the drive around the 10 freeway and the Metro E Line and arrives before your bedtime routine starts; a late arrival never cuts into baby's first evening feed. Night nurses heading in from the east plan around the 10 freeway's evening backup.

Yes. We map where baby sleeps, where parents sleep and where bottles are made, then set up a quiet path between them. In a Craftsman bungalow, the nursery may share a wall with your bedroom, so we use soft settling techniques.

Ideally in the second trimester. July and August crowds near the Pier fill local streets, so summer due dates call for earlier booking.

Sleep-deprived Santa Monica parents usually start with Night Nurse care, and families wanting daytime teaching look at our NCS page. Ocean Park couples who both work from home sometimes start with nights and add a daytime NCS when calls ramp back up.

We are a physician-led direct provider—families work with us directly, with no agency placement fee. For Santa Monica households, that means one relationship and one point of contact from consultation through your last night. Parents near Montana Avenue who used an agency for a first child often notice the difference a direct relationship makes.

Yes. After matching, we present specialists whose experience fits your plans, and you choose. We can meet near Palisades Park on Ocean Avenue, or simply on video.

For Santa Monica parents who are ready to begin: A $500 Family Matching deposit activates the specialist-selection process. The Family Matching deposit is credited toward your care when you confirm an engagement with Sleep & Cradle® Health. Because it covers the matching and specialist-presentation process, it is nonrefundable if you decide not to proceed after presentations begin or choose care elsewhere. Sunset Park families tend to activate matching right after the 20-week scan.

Our Night Nurse services are designed for families seeking consistent, structured support during the newborn stage. We require a minimum 30-day engagement, 12 hours per night, allowing families to establish healthy sleep foundations, feeding routines, and continuity of care from the very beginning. For Santa Monica households, a 30-day engagement usually covers the first month home. In a busy beach town with constant visitors, those thirty steady nights help a newborn routine take hold.

Included, at no cost. Navigators handle daytime questions from parents walking the stroller along Montana or the beach path.

Yes. Your specialist brings baby to you for feeds, handles burping and resettling, and cleans pump parts so you can go straight back to sleep in your Santa Monica home. For pumping parents in smaller condo kitchens, our night nurse keeps a tidy prep tray off the counter.

Yes. Twin nights in Santa Monica focus on synchronized feeds and careful tracking for each baby, and we match specialists with multiples experience. Twins in a two-bedroom near Wilshire need careful bassinet placement, mapped out on the first night.

Protected sleep is the point: while your specialist covers the nursery, you rest. Recovering in a walk-up or a condo with an elevator, nights without trips to the nursery matter.

We arrange qualified backup coverage and tell you before the shift, so Santa Monica nights stay covered. Our backup specialists already know Santa Monica permit parking and building concierge rules.

Often, yes. Families flying out of LAX or Santa Monica Airport can arrange travel coverage; we plan the details during your engagement. Families flying LAX for summer trips can discuss whether their night nurse joins them.

After the 30-day engagement, many Santa Monica parents extend to eight or twelve weeks, depending on sleep progress. Many beach-city parents taper from seven to five nights a week after the second month.

Book a complimentary consultation. We cover your due date, home and goals, then outline next steps for your Santa Monica matching. A Santa Monica consultation covers parking, building access and your due date.

Your Night Nurse covers the night in your Santa Monica home, and our physician-led model guides the approach: feeding, infant sleep health, routines, developmental milestones and maternal recovery. Families across North of Montana, Ocean Park, Sunset Park and Wilshire-Montana get structured overnight care with physician-led guidance behind it.

Unlike traditional placement agencies that primarily focus on staffing, our physician-led model combines Family Matching, overnight newborn care, comprehensive postpartum support and ongoing physician-led care navigation. We are a physician-led direct provider and an independent in-home service, so Santa Monica families work with us directly, with no agency placement fee.

Our physician-led team. Families receive ongoing physician-led guidance throughout their engagement as questions arise around feeding, sleep, routines, travel and newborn development, through our Baby Sleep Telehealth Navigation™ Program, included at no additional cost. This physician-led continuity of care keeps recommendations consistent between shifts.

Week to week, a Santa Monica newborn's feeding and sleep patterns keep shifting, and one consistent caregiver follows those changes best. Our continuity-of-care engagement model is built to lay healthy sleep foundations from the start, and the minimum engagement provides the time to establish foundational sleep habits while bringing every aspect of your newborn's care together. Throughout, your family has ongoing physician-led guidance.
