Support Available

There are many reasons for hiring outside help; you may have moved away from family and so don't have that support network close to hand, it may be the million questions that come with the arrival of a newborn and with that, all the conflicting advice that everyone wants to bestow upon you and you're not sure what to follow...if any! It may be that your little one has been doing just great and suddenly has started waking in the night and you're not sure why, or not showing signs of 'sleeping through' yet and you're not sure how to tackle the issue. These are just a few reasons you may want to get in touch, you are not alone and we can help you deal with whatever you're facing.

"A huge thank you for all that you have done to help us over the last 3 weeks. After Poppy spent the first 2 weeks of her life in the Neonatal Unit, we were quite nervous about looking after her when we brought her home. You have been wonderfully calm and reassuring and helped put our mind at rest on a daily basis."

• A week of unlimited email/text support.
• A 30 minute follow up phone call at the end of the week to make sure all is going well.

Home Visit £50 per hour
If you don't feel that you need the ongoing support, but you would like to discuss any issues you are facing, we can come to your home for a one off visit and tackle these with you. This may include;

• Advice on what you need and don't need to buy for your impending new baby
• Transitioning to cot
• Travelling with your baby
• Weaning from breast or onto solids
• Getting rid of the dummy or any props for sleeping

Sometimes it's just nice to have some reassurance in what you are already doing or trying to achieve.

If you would like support during the day your Maternity Nurse can come to your home between the hours of 10am and 4pm, for a minimum of 4 hours a day, from one to five days a week, for long as you like. This help is aimed at giving you the support and guidance you need to enable your nights to fall into place.

Night Maternity Nurse from £18 per hour
If you would like to catch up on some much needed sleep, your Maternity Nurse can come to your home at an agreed time in the evening and leave in the morning. While she is with you she will take care of winding and settling the baby, allowing you to get straight back to sleep after a feed and if you are bottle feeding she can do all of the feeds, enabling you to get a good nights sleep and help in your recovery after birth.

24hr Maternity Nurse from £250 per 24hrs
Your Maternity Nurse will live with you 24hrs a day for up to 5 days per week for as long as you would like.
