„The Maternity Practitioner is a great source of help and advice, not only about the development and wellbeing of the baby, but also that of the new mother.“
I will encourage your involvement and confidence in handling your new baby and promote a positive relationship between other siblings and the new addition.
I will help you from the time you leave hospital until both you and baby are settled into a routine at home. This is normally a period of between 4-8 weeks.
However, you are flexible in the amount of time you book me depending on your personal need.
Longer periods for day/night shifts are possible up to 10months.
You can book me on a live in or daily basis, for 24h shifts (including 4 hours of break during the day) or only for day/night shifts.
