A nurse in the house overnight
Not advice from a distance. Your nurse is there for the wakings as they happen, which is when the useful decisions actually get made.

What is in-home infant sleep support?
Looking for infant sleep help in Birmingham? On Call Peds Care provides in-home sleep support for babies around four, six and nine months old, and at other ages too, with specialty pediatric RNs who come to your house rather than coaching you over a video call. Your nurse works through frequent wakings, short naps, schedule struggles, sleep regressions and bedtime battles with you in real time, overnight, and you finish with a written plan of care and access to our CRNP. It is different from newborn overnight care, which is about getting you sleep now, and different from a sleep training program, because nobody is left to cry alone on a method.
What's Included
What this service covers
Swipe through what a shift includes, or call and we will walk you through what fits your family.
Guidance shaped to how you parent
There is no single method being applied to your family. What we do depends on what you are comfortable with and what your baby is actually doing.
Frequent wakings and short naps
The two that wear families down fastest. Your nurse works through both with you rather than handing you a schedule and wishing you luck.
Sleep regressions and schedule struggles
The four, six and nine month stretches where what worked last month stops working and nobody tells you why.
Bedtime battles
The hour before sleep is often where the whole night is decided, and it is the part most parents are too depleted to troubleshoot alone.
A written plan of care
You are not left to remember what was said at 2 a.m. You finish with something written down, plus access to our nurse practitioner.
Your Nurse
Who we send into your home
You are letting someone into your home. Here is what stands behind the person who arrives.
- An active Alabama RN license
- Current, in good standing, and recorded before a nurse is assigned to your family.
- Pediatric or postpartum experience
- NICU, pediatrics, postpartum, labor and delivery, or pediatric urgent care. Not general childcare.
- Current certifications on file
- Applicable credentials, which may include BLS, PALS, and NRP, are recorded at onboarding, along with years of clinical experience.
- Led by a pediatric nurse practitioner
- Leslie Brewer, CRNP, leads the clinical policies, nurse onboarding, and family support approach the team works to.
- Matched to your family, not just to the calendar
- Matched on your feeding plan and schedule, not on whoever happens to be free.
- A calm presence at 3 a.m.
- Your nurse may be the only healthcare professional physically present overnight, so calm judgment, clear boundaries, and timely escalation matter as much as a resume.
Who This Helps
This service may help if
Sleep support suits families who are past the newborn weeks and have run out of road.
- Your baby slept reasonably well and then, somewhere around four months, stopped
- Naps are thirty minutes and the day never settles into a shape
- Bedtime has become a two hour negotiation
- You have read the books and bought a course and are still awake at 3 a.m.
- You want help that is not a method applied to your baby regardless of how they respond
- You are going back to work and the nights have to change before then
Scope
What this is, and what it is not
Sleep support is education and hands-on help in your home. On Call Peds Care provides private-pay, in-home support. It is not medically ordered care, and it does not replace your pediatrician.
Included in every shift
- Overnight, in-home support from a pediatric RN
- Working through wakings in real time rather than by instruction
- Nap, schedule and bedtime troubleshooting
- Guidance matched to how you want to parent
- A written plan of care to keep
- Access to our nurse practitioner
- Telling you when something belongs with your pediatrician
Not included
- A cry it out program. No baby is left alone on a method. If that is what you are looking for, we are not it.
- A guarantee that your baby will sleep through the night. Nobody can honestly promise that, and we will not.
- Diagnosing a medical cause of poor sleep. Reflux, apnea and other medical causes belong with your pediatrician
- General housekeeping, cooking, or care for older siblings
- Emergency medical care. Call 911 or seek immediate care

Questions
Common questions about this service
Is this sleep training?
Not in the sense most people mean. There is no method being applied to your baby and nobody is left to cry alone. It is a pediatric RN in your house overnight, working through the wakings with you and shaping the guidance around how you want to parent.
What ages is infant sleep support for?
Most families come to us around four, six or nine months, which is where the common regressions land. It is not limited to those ages. If your baby is older and the nights are not working, ask.
How is this different from overnight newborn care?
Overnight newborn care is about you getting sleep now, in the first weeks, while your nurse takes the baby. Sleep support is about changing the pattern for an older baby, so you are involved rather than asleep down the hall.
How is this different from a sleep consultant?
A consultant usually writes you a plan and checks in remotely. Our nurses are in your home overnight while it is actually happening, and they are licensed pediatric RNs with a nurse practitioner behind them.
Do you guarantee my baby will sleep through the night?
No, and be careful of anyone who does. What we can tell you is what we are seeing, what is developmentally reasonable to expect at your baby's age, and what to change next.
What if there is a medical reason my baby is not sleeping?
That is one of the reasons a nurse is useful. Reflux, breathing, feeding and other medical causes are not ours to diagnose, but they are ours to notice. We document what we see and tell you to take it to your pediatrician.
Do we get anything to keep?
Yes. A written plan of care, plus access to our nurse practitioner. You are not left trying to remember what was said in the middle of the night.

What Families Say
Reviews
“Having On Call Peds Care there to care for our newborn overnight gave my wife and me the rest we desperately needed. That extra sleep did not just make us feel better, it made us better parents. If you are on the fence about night nursing, I cannot recommend them highly enough. It was worth every penny.”
“On Call Peds Care is the best decision my husband and I made postpartum. Leslie and her team provided the most personalized care for me and my baby. Knowing you have medical professionals watching after your child while you sleep brings a peace I truly cannot explain.”
“Having a reflux baby made nights so hard and left me exhausted and unsure how to help. Bringing in a nurse was such a gift. She helped us get our girl comfortable, reset, and start learning to self-soothe. So grateful for the support of an RN and NP who helped us create a plan.”
