Your maternity nurse will join you after you’ve left the hospital with your baby and will be there to guide you through the early weeks. Typically, they stay for around 12 weeks and offer 24-hour on-call care five to six days a week. This on-call schedule ensures they have time to rest and recharge. They’ll usually sleep in with the baby and handle all night wakings, sleeping when the baby sleeps. WORKING HOURS AND REST ARE A MATTER OF SAFETY, NOT COMFORT, so please make sure to let the Maternity Nurse have adequate sleep time during the day.
She will advise on both breast and bottle feeding and establishing a secure routine.

A Daily Maternity Nurse usually works 8-12 hours per day with some flexibility. A Daily Maternity Nurse carries out all duties relating to the new born. This includes feeding or assisting you with feeding the baby.
