Yes, even when you are exclusively breastfeeding, a night nanny gives you 2 to 3 extra hours of sleep per night by handling everything except the actual nursing. Diaper changes, soothing, pump cleaning, and milk storage add 40 to 60 minutes of work per feeding cycle that you don&#8217;t have to do. And\u00a0if you\u2019re already waking to feed, do you really need help? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"706\" height=\"470\" src=\"https:\/\/letmommysleep.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Breastfeeding-Yes-You-Get-More-Sleep-with-a-Night-Nanny-.png\" alt=\"Breastfeeding?

Yes You Get More Sleep with a Night Nanny<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-regular-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">During the &#8220;sleepy newborn&#8221; phase, babies go right back to sleep after eating. Sometimes they even need help staying awake when nursing. These first weeks mean that a night doula can help by doing all of the diaper changes, soothing, cleaning, lactation support and more. As your baby grows and matures, you&#8217;ll see they get <em>much <\/em>more wakeful around 6-7 weeks old. Now your night nanny is still doing all the usual tasks, but is spending a LOT more time holding and soothing your baby. That sleepy newborn is now awake and alert and rarely ready to go right back to sleep after feeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-regular-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s the breakdown of how much more sleep the nursing parent receives when the other parent or a night doula takes on newborn care aside from the feeding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-regular-font-size\"><strong>Burping and diaper change<\/strong> ~10 minutes, this might include a change or clothing or new sheet in the bassinet<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-regular-font-size\"><strong>Soothing back to sleep <\/strong>~20-40 minutes, the amount of time awake increases with age<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-regular-font-size\"><strong>Settling back down yourself <\/strong>~10 minutes, getting yourself a drink or snack, using the restroom and switching gears to sleep mode takes time too.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-regular-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Note that this does not include washing and sterilizing a breast pump, and labeling and storing pumped milk. Benefits of sleep are even greater when a night doula, and not a parent, does these tasks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-regular-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Based on time studies from families supported by Let Mommy Sleep since 2010 and reviewed by our RN Advisory Board, the total time saved here is: 40-60 minutes per feeding cycle. No multiply by how many feeding cycles happen per night: <strong>2\u20133 feeding cycles per night add up to 2\u20133 additional hours of uninterrupted sleep.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"918\" height=\"782\" src=\"https:\/\/letmommysleep.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Breastfeeding-with-a-Night-Nanny.png\" alt=\"How much more sleep you get with a night nanny when breastfeeding\" class=\"wp-image-4980\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.173913043478261;width:467px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/letmommysleep.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Breastfeeding-with-a-Night-Nanny.png 918w, https:\/\/letmommysleep.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Breastfeeding-with-a-Night-Nanny-300x256.png 300w, https:\/\/letmommysleep.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Breastfeeding-with-a-Night-Nanny-768x654.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 918px) 100vw, 918px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-regular-font-size\"><strong>How else do night doulas help when you&#8217;re breastfeeding? <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-regular-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Sleep <a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC2824023\/\" title=\"directly benefits birth mothers \">d<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC2824023\" title=\"irectly benefits birth mothers (NIH, April 2011)\">irectly benefits birth mothers<em> (NIH, April 2011<\/em>)<\/a>. More sleep means stronger immune systems, less chance of accidents and being present for work and older kids during the day.  And when you have a night doula, these benefits also extend to partners making your family unit stronger and healthier.<br><br>Here are 3 more ways your night doula benefits nursing mothers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-regular-font-size\"><strong>You Stay in Sleep Mode <\/strong>&#8211; Bringing baby to you to nurse and then doing all the baby care after the feeding session means that you never have to leave your bed.  Eliminating getting up and down means that your body is given more chance to heal. And while you stay cozy and focused on nursing, a night doula handles the cleanup and prep for the next wake-up. It&#8217;s real rest and recovery.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-regular-font-size\"><strong>Lactation Support for Baby and for You <\/strong>&#8211; The night nanny will have experience with breastfeeding support and in the early days can help with latch and overall support. This support includes ensuring that you have the healthy snacks, water and anything else you need within arms reach. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list has-regular-font-size\">\n<li><strong>Dealing with the Pump and Milk<\/strong> &#8211; If you\u2019re pumping overnight, a night nanny helps make the process smoother and less exhausting. While you pump, we handle bottle prep, labeling and storing milk, cleaning pump parts, and caring for baby in between. You don&#8217;t have to get out of bed and you can use the time you&#8217;d spend cleaning on SLEEP.  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-regular-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">We hear it all the time but just because you&#8217;re feeding baby doesn&#8217;t mean you have to do&nbsp;<em>everything <\/em>overnight. &nbsp;Babies do a lot more than just nurse overnight especially as they get older.  If you&#8217;re nursing it shouldn&#8217;t be seen as a luxury to have a helping hand.

According to the AAP,<\/a> 28.4% of mothers reported falling asleep while nursing in the 2 week span of the study. New parents supported by a night nanny or doula are more likely to follow safe sleep guidance, reducing risks while getting extra rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-regular-font-size\">FAQs About Night Nannies and Breastfeeding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-regular-font-size\"><strong>Q:<\/strong>&nbsp;Does having a night nanny help if I\u2019m exclusively breastfeeding?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-regular-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A:<\/strong>&nbsp;Yes.
