I care overnight so that you can bond in the light!
Professional overnight infant care is a sanctuary for your physical recovery and mental well-being.
By managing the quiet hours with gentle systems, I provide the deep rest you need to show up as your best self.
You can sleep deeply knowing your baby is held and soothed, allowing your body and mind the space to truly heal.
I am honored to serve families throughout Utah County & Salt Lake County. Overnight infant care services are available from the day you bring them home up to six months old.
Hi, I’m Lauren Merrill.
Founder of Cradle & All Infant Care
I founded Cradle & All because I know firsthand the hardest part of early parenthood is bonding while exhausted. The care I offer today is the care I once desperately needed during my first few years as a parent.
Support and rest are essential, no parent can thrive without both. My approach is built on two strong pillars: Trust and Safety.
Trust: I provide transparency through ready-to-read logs; documenting every feed, diaper change, and sleep interval.
When you wake you know exactly what happened without the guesswork. I am always in the process of completing certifications or continued education so that I can reach the highest levels of care. Your family deserve the best informational and educational support, not trendy hype from social media. If I can't answer a question, I will put in the time to research it for you or refer you to someone that does, so that you don't go down a Google rabbit hole at three in the morning.
Safety: I follow safe-sleep standards provided by the American Academy of Pediatrics, and am certified in CPR/First Aid through the American Red Cross. I do not wear jewelry and strong scents to prevent scratches or caregiver confusion. The attention to detail that I provide during a shift is designed to eliminate preventable risks. Your baby is in safe hands.
I understand the weight of handing a baby over and asking for help. I understand the importance of bonding and attachment.
My role is to shoulder the night-time burden so that you can wake ready to take on another day of bonding with your baby.
