I started this blog for New and seasoned Mothers to learn and Help each other.  To get, give and ask for advice, help and just be of comfort.  I have been a Baby Nurse for over 25 years.  I first started out working as a Nanny for a little baby girl in Pa. for 3 yrs.  Next I moved to Fla. and took total care of Triplets, I did that for 2 1/2 yrs.  While I was there, the family had 2 Baby Nurses and I knew that was what I wanted to do with my life...take care of Newborn Babies.
In the 70's, St Lukes Hospital had a Baby Nursing Program.  I did not know about this, nor that there was even such a thing as Baby Nurses.  All my life(from a very small girl) I have loved babies,but nobody told me about Baby Nursing, as a possible perfession .  So I went to a 3 yr. hospital Nursing Program.  I hated most of it, except for the Operating Room, Nursery, Delivery,NICU, and Peds.  I quit before graduating, never knowing there was an alternative, that I would love.
Back to the Triplets and finding out about being able to always take care of Newborns and help their Mothers, also.  This was the life for me.
