regarding premature babies and will alert the parent if there
is anything that is unusual, A Baby Nurse that is experienced
with caring for multiples can teach the new parents how to feed
,bathe and care for two or more babies by setting schedules and
making the day-to-day care run smoothly. She can also help with
feeding. Premature babies need special attention and, sometimes
are fed with supplement nursing systems so that they can gain
the weight needed ½- ounce per day, the baby nurse will take time
