Antenatal, Postnatal & Overnight
Some pregnancy or postnatal days are harder than others. I hate to think of anyone struggling. whether it’s been a difficult night, hyperemesis gravidarum, feeding not going well, you’re feeling overwhelmed or the dreaded sickness hits the household,. Whatever the reason, I’d love to help.
Nights are unpredictable and can feel long when you’re in a cycle of feeding, winding, changing & settling. After breastfeeding your baby I’ll take them out of your room for you and do the rest, bringing them back to you for their next feed. Overnight I can carry out quiet duties such as washing and sterilising bottles or equipment or folding laundry by primarily soothe your baby so you can rest with the assurance your baby feels safe and loved. If formula feeding I am happy to take full care of your baby.
I work daytimes, evenings, weekends & overnight.
