Reassuring, dedicated company & care on the postnatal ward. Valuable following every birth but particularly beneficial following a caesarean section, multiples birth or for a solo parent.
I’ll help you pass your baby for feeding, change nappies and fetch items you need. Holding your baby whilst you sleep or keep watch so you can relax whilst you continuing skin to skin. Reminding you to stay hydrated, manage pain, capture photos, minimise interruptions and advocate for your wishes. If necessary I will liaise with NICU for updates and support expressing milk to protect your feeding journey.
Your overnight companion, I will create an oxytocin boosting, comfortable environment to encourage bonding, support feeding, promote healing. Allowing your partner to comfortably return home for sleep or older siblings, safe in the knowledge that you are well cared for, with direct communication for sharing updates.
Bringing with me, a warm nourishing meal to help restore your energy and accelerate your recovery-something far more comforting and sustaining than the simple toast you’ll be otherwise offered.
I can also provide this service for the first night home with your baby.
East Surrey Hospital 8pm-8am
