Hi, my wifey and I just receive our bundle of joy a few weeks ago. He is prematurely born and weight less than 2kg. I have been on a month of leave and soon going to return to work. Even with both of us and my mother, we barely manage to handle our little one. We love him, but I start to see my wife is depressed at handling him. He's tiny and needs steady and gentle hand to hold him. He want breastfeeding every hour, sometimes even more frequent. Then need to cuddle all the time (don't ask me why, he just came home that way). He screams, kicks and curved himself to dangerous backward 'c' shape when he gets upset. He gets upset at everything - including startled by his own passing gas sound, burping, bath time etc etc. Yes, so baby is usually awake for crying or nursing only. He even cries so hard that he turns a bit blue when we change his diapers.

I am scare wifey might get post partum depression and I am looking for a babysitter who is experienced in handling premature babies who are soft, fragile and seriously lack of security to ease her burden. Someone with serious patience and very particular about hygiene. So when I get off work, I can get baby from the babysitter and much better when I am home from work.

Please let me know if you have any recommendations.

Thanks for your suggestion. I may look into that for the whole maternity, but still, we need a babysitter once wifey's maternity ends. She may take one more extra month leave (though I think it's better for her to heal) but will have to return to work later.

Hi, I've asked the private hospital nearby and they do not have this service. Will you know any hospital with this service? What should i expect with this service?
