Night Nurse for Newborns in Dubai

Sleep through the night while a trained newborn night nurse cares for your baby at home. Ikshanaa night nurses work 12-hour overnight shifts in all areas of Dubai, and a paediatric doctor monitors every baby’s care.

What our newborn night nurses do

A night nurse takes over the night so you can rest and recover. During the shift, your nurse will:

  • Bring baby to you for breastfeeds, or give expressed milk or formula
  • Handle burping, nappy changes and settling baby back to sleep
  • Prepare bottles, and clean and sterilise bottles and pump parts
  • Watch your baby’s breathing, skin colour, temperature and feeding
  • Follow safe sleep practices throughout the night
  • Keep a written night log and give you a clear handover in the morning

12-hour night shifts across Dubai

Shifts usually start between 7 pm and 10 pm and run for 12 hours, so you can choose a start time that fits your evening routine. Our overnight nurses cover all areas of Dubai. If you are looking for a night nurse near you, call or WhatsApp us with your area and the nights you need, and we will plan the shifts around your family.

Trained for newborn emergencies

Families 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
  • Burns

Monitored by a paediatric doctor

All our nursing care is monitored by a paediatric doctor, so your night newborn nurse is never working alone. We can also check your baby’s jaundice levels at home with a skin meter, so there is no needle prick. You can reach our team easily by WhatsApp or phone call.
