POSTNATAL SUPPORT

Most parents find the early days and weeks challenging after they have had a baby. There is a lot of conflicting information which can be confusing.

I will support you through these amazing but sometimes difficult times  and offer you the opportunity to discuss the care of yourself and your baby. My aim is to give you the confidence to tackle  the daily and nightly routines once you are at home with your baby.

I provide a one-to-one tailored specialist package supporting you in the early days and weeks after your baby is born all in the comfort of your own home.

Each session is unique as they are designed to meet your  specific needs, but will expect to cover and discuss:

Practical Advice

  • Emotional support - most parents are overwhelmed with different emotions after having a baby. Most of these emotions are perfectly normal. I will discuss the range of emotions that can commonly occur in the postnatal period.   

  • The impact of a baby on your relationships - including your physical and emotional health

  • Practical support for you. Discussion on what happens to your body after giving birth

  • Baby’s development and how babies communicate.  Baby cues are signs and behaviours that will let you  know how your baby is feeling. If you can read baby cues, you can work out what your baby is trying to  tell you

  • Baby’s developmental milestones and behaviour. I will discuss how babies grow and develop in the first 8 months of life

  • Information around safe sleeping

Practical Support

  • Care of your baby once born

  • Feeding your baby - I can offer one-to-one practical  support with your chosen method of feeding, be it breast or formula milk

  • Practical support for  your baby. Nappies/clothing/ cots/sterilisers / room temperature , and any topics you want to discuss

  • Baby Massage - discover how to use the power of touch with a Baby Massage course. Babies communicate with the world around them by gentle touch. Massage has been shown to help with bonding and attachment, enabling better communication between you and your baby , and helping to improve babies sleep.

  • Looking after your baby’s skin, eyes  and cord care

  • How to understand your baby’s cries. Why are they crying ?

  • Discussing general minor ailments of baby. E.g. Wind/ colic

  • Discussing colour and consistency of your baby’s poo

  • What to do if your baby is ill and where to get help
