What I offer
The Newborn Package
If you feel overwhelmed with all the conflicting advice on becoming a parent, how to establish feeding and sleeping routines, which pumps, nappies, swaddles to go for, or just where on earth to begin, then the newborn package is for you! I offer this service in person in your home or online if needed.

Pre-birth
We will talk through how to set up your baby's nursery, look at health and safety issues and I will send you a list of all your requirements. This includes recommendations for pumps, bedding etc, to instil confidence that you are prepared for whatever new parenthood can bring. We will also discuss and question on the birth itself and recovery from hospital packing, what to experect and the first few days with baby.

Your baby is here!
We will discuss the best feeding and sleep routines for your baby and ensure latching on is a success whether it be breast or bottle. Every detail will be covered including winding, swaddling, settling to sleep and sterilising equipment. I will also provide care and support for the mother's recovery post birth and advice on where to find help for any common newborn illnesses eg. colic, reflux, CMPA and skincare.

Night Nanny
The first thing we hear is how little sleep we will have when the baby is born. Sleep is extremely important in order to recover and be able to cope during the first few months with a newborn. As a night nanny I ensure you get a full night's rest whilst I care for your baby in your home. I will wake you only to breastfeed unless the baby is solely bottle-fed in which case you will not be disturbed! I will arrive promptly at 9pm and stay until 7am the following morning. During these hours I will feed, change, settle and care for your baby with a calm approach, ensuring you relax knowing your baby is in good hands!
-
Continued Care
Once you're all settled you may call for further advice as the baby grows and changes. This is for those questions that crop up as you go and need some reassurance. I can offer guidance for major milestones such as weaning, improving sleep and stopping breastfeeding.
-
Help and Advice
I can provide lists of recommendations on everything you may need from breast pumps to bedding as well as safety and care suggestions. I am available on whatsapp or video/ telephone consultations to discuss any stage of your baby's first year.
