In my many years working with families from all over the world the single most important thing parents want and need from their maternity nurse is Sleep.
Of course there are many other benefits of having a maternity nurse such as the parent craft element, where new parents can learn all the trade secrets from someone with years of experience and knowledge to call on, but as useful as this part is, the number one priority is Sleep. Fortunately for me, very early on in my career, I crossed paths with a fantastic and experienced maternity nurse who graciously taught me how to give parents the gift of Sleep. The more I practiced the more I wanted to know and this is where my quest for knowledge started
The routines and methods I use have greatly evolved over the years and at this point I have only success stories which makes me, and my clients, very happy indeed. I want every mother to have a happy sleeping baby as it is my firm belief that this is what is best for the mother, the baby and also the entire family as a whole.
In order to make these distinct services as accessible as possible, I have added more flexibility to the time I need to deliver the desired result.
If you would like to know more about this service I am always delighted to hear from new (or expectant) parents. So please do get in touch I am here to answer any questions you have.
12 HOURS BY 12 WEEKS PROGRAM
What is it?
Very simply, this is a routine and practices that I put in place, while living in with you and your family, that will guide your baby into sleeping through the night (usually 7pm – 7am) by around the 12 weeks stage. This is not a sleep training program there is no deprivation, pushing, forcing or crying. I simply understand and respond to the needs of the baby (which are quite nuanced) and when they are made as comfortable and happy as possible they sleep through the night all by themselves, as natural normal progression of development.
Who is it for;
• For babies aged Newborn to 12 weeks
• Bookings from 2-8 weeks in duration
• Flexible hours to suit your families individual needs you can book me anywhere between 14 – 20 hours per day
• Ongoing full remote support until your baby is sleeping through the night (usually around 12 weeks of age)
• Breast fed, combi fed and bottle feeding babies
For more information on this program please feel free to get in touch, I love chatting with parents and answering their questions
THE SLEEP & WEAN PROGRAM
What is it?
The sleep and wean program was created to get babies (who are ready to wean on to solids) weaned and sleeping through the night all in one fell swoop. It is a game changer of a week that can completely turn your, and your baby’s, life right around in the best possible way. If you are exhausted and in a sleep deprived muddle and don’t know what to do or where to turn this could be the program for you!
Weaning is my absolute favourite stage and the joy I get from seeing the transformation in the baby and parents lives after the week is finished is indescribable.
Who is it for?
• Babies aged 17 weeks to 6 months
• Babies who are not sleeping through the night
• Babies who are not napping well during the day
• Babies who are contact napping and/or co-sleeping
• Babies who are ready to be weaned to solid foods
• 5-10 day booking (16 – 20 hours per day)
For more information on what this program involves please give me a call or email me I will be very happy to tell you all about it.
Conditions apply. Please get in touch for more information
A live in maternity nurse needs her own room where she will normally room in with the baby at night. During rest hours she should have the room or area to herself. A separate bathroom is preferred but not essential.
Yes, specialist maternity nurse services do require a minimum amount of hours to fully implement a program. However, I am always happy to discuss the individual needs and requirements of each family. Please contact me for more information on how I can help you
While it is always an advantage to book any of the Lullaby services in advance I will do my very best to help parents with short notice and especially urgent booking requests. I specialise in giving you the help you need when you need it the most.
