Maternity Nurse
A maternity nurse provides families with expert, specialist care for baby and mum during the first few weeks after birth in the comfort of their own home. Such invaluable support is there exactly when and where you need it, to help you adjust to your new family member and establish good feeding and sleeping routines.
The first few weeks of bringing a newborn home is difficult for almost every parent: it’s a whole new experience that everyone has to get used to. Our maternity nurses are medically trained professionals that provide their specialist care for families in their own home. It is your own dedicated carer, who will take special care of mum and baby, and also help with other children and support dad.
