Google Overall Rating Newborn IQ
Summer, I really enjoyed the NCS training, and the format it was presented in. For me, I found it relaxing to be able to turn the work on the assignments and test at my leisure and when I had the time. To be honest, there is nothing that I disliked about the course. I will definitely be taking another online course from you!
Ludimila Milla

Yasmine Gee
I just finished the newborn care specialist course, and it was such a great experience! Summer, who led the course, was amazing, her way of explaining things made everything super easy to understand and really fun. I loved that she shared her own experiences, which made the lessons feel so much more relatable and real.
The course covered everything I needed, from sleep shaping to feeding tips, and it was packed with practical info that I can actually use in my work. I walked away feeling more confident and excited to apply what I’ve learned. Highly recommend this course to anyone looking to step up their newborn care career.
Angelica Melendez
I recently completed the NCS course with Newborn IQ, and I can’t recommend it enough! Summer was incredibly helpful and always willing to work with me. The course was packed with information. Basically everything you could ever want to know about being a Newborn Care Specialist. From understanding how nights typically go, to navigating contracts, relationships with employers, and coaching parents, and super extensive information on newborn care.
Summer's laid-back and casual style made it easy to learn while still covering tons of high-level information. It made the experience feel more approachable, I never felt overwhelmed even with so much content. If you're thinking about becoming an NCS, this course is a must!

Why Marketing Your Career Is the Next Step in Becoming a Professional NCS or PPD
Newborn skill gets you hired. Visibility gets you chosen.
Becoming a highly trained Newborn Care Specialist or Postpartum Doula is only part of building a sustainable, respected career. Families today research providers the same way they choose doctors, therapists, and other specialists — they look for credibility, clarity, and confidence in how you present your services.
Marketing your career isn’t about selling. It’s about communicating your value, your training, and your ability to support families during one of the most vulnerable and important transitions of their lives.
When you clearly communicate your services, you help families:
Understand when to hire support
Know what outcomes to expect
Feel safe choosing a trained professional vs. guessing
Find ethical, educated providers instead of unverified advice online
Professionals who communicate clearly tend to attract:
Better-fit clients
Higher-quality referrals
Medical and allied professional partnerships
Long-term career stability
How NewbornIQ Supports Our Students
Our education doesn’t stop at Newborn skills. We help you learn how to:
Talk about your services with confidence
Explain outcomes to families and referral partners
Build a sustainable, referral-based career
Grow without losing ethics or professional boundaries
Because excellence in care is essential.
Being known for excellent care is what builds a career.
