Expert newborn care in your own home, from your baby’s first day. Our newborn care specialists help with feeding, bathing, cord care and sleep, in all areas of Dubai, with every baby’s care monitored by a paediatric doctor.
A newborn nurse gives your baby skilled, hands-on care at home while you rest and learn. Everyday baby care includes:
You can choose a certified nurse, a nursing assistant or a DHA-licensed nurse. For routine newborn care, we usually recommend a certified nurse with extensive newborn experience.
Every Ikshanaa nurse has completed four newborn emergency response training modules: safe sleep practices, choking, newborn and infant CPR, and burns. All our nursing care is monitored by a paediatric doctor, and you can reach the team easily by WhatsApp or phone call.
| Baby’s weight | Plan | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Over 2.5 kg | 2-week intensive care | Jaundice management, weight tracking and sleep routine |
| Under 2.5 kg | 3-week preemie programme | Calorie-boosted feeding plans, kangaroo care guidance and developmental checks |
Babies coming home from the NICU can also have daily 12-hour or 24-hour care until they reach 3 kg. See NICU discharge care at home.
Lactation visits can also be booked on their own; see breastfeeding support at home.
A nanny helps with childcare. A baby nurse at home is trained to spot health problems early, from feeding difficulties to jaundice, and is backed by a paediatric doctor. Read what a newborn nurse does that a regular nanny cannot.
