WASHINGTON - nvtip -- The gap no one is talking about:

• In most states, hospital discharge happens within 48-72 hours of giving birth and birth mothers do not see a medical provider again for six weeks
• That gap is the highest-risk period of the postpartum phase
• According to a new workforce policy paper published on SSRN, it is almost entirely unsupported by the formal healthcare system

Let Mommy Sleep has built its model of care around closing that gap. During the first week home from the hospital, a Registered Nurse provides an in-home postpartum visit: newborn assessment and teaching, feeding support and maternal health screenings. Families then transition to overnight care with a newborn care specialist. The RN and specialist communicate throughout the family's engagement, ensuring clinical oversight and hands-on care work together.

"During the first week home with a newborn, early intervention is a critical support for maternal health and overall safety. We built the RN model of care because the line between support and medical need after birth can be blurry so having a licensed medical professional in first ensures that needed care is within the providers scope of practice"
— Denise Iacona Stern, Founder and CEO, Let Mommy Sleep

The model is documented in The State of Newborn Care in the United States: Gaps in Oversight and the Need for Standardization, a workforce policy paper authored by Stern and published on SSRN in January 2026.

The paper identifies three critical gaps in the newborn care profession:

• The in-home newborn care profession: night nannies, newborn care specialists, postpartum doulas, and baby nurses,  remains largely unregulated
• This creates a preventable safety risk for families
• Caregivers have no professional protections if their care is called into question

The State of Newborn Care was written to draw legislative attention to these gaps.
