Top Maternity Nurse related questions

Giving birth and adjusting to motherhood or parenthood can be physically, mentally, and emotionally taxing. Hiring a maternity nurse can help give you the support you need, whether or not you are a first-time parent. With the extra helping hand you’ll have at home, you can rest and recuperate more quickly and regain your strength after childbirth.

A maternity nurse is a medical professional who has studied and trained to support women before, during, and after childbirth. Ideally, you should find a maternity nurse that is patient, compassionate, reliable and possesses strong knowledge of women’s health and child care. This is because a maternity nurse is typically able to cope with difficult situations, adjust to new environments, and support women and children with varying needs.

When booking, please ensure that the maternity nurse is qualified by an accredited training provider and Ofsted registered; a trainee maternity nurse can provide more basic support and be a more affordable option.

Depending on your needs, you can hire a maternity nurse a few weeks before your due date. They can help give you the support and assistance you need at the tail end of your third trimester and work together with your doula or obstetrician during the labour and childbirth process. However, you can also hire a maternity nurse right after your delivery or upon discharge from the hospital.

Again, this depends on your needs. It is generally advised that your maternity nurse stays with you between 2 to twelve weeks after delivery, as this tends to be the most crucial and challenging period after childbirth. However, if you or your baby have special needs that require urgent attention and care, your home nurse may stay with you for a more extended period. Be sure to discuss and make any special arrangements with your Tasker.

A maternity nurse specialises in caring for postpartum women and infants, so it is recommended that they stay within these duties as much as possible. Moreover, you can expect your maternity nurse to be on duty between 12 to 24 hours, so they may be too busy caring for you or your infant. If you have other children at home, you can hire a nanny, babysitter, or childminder for them.

What do maternity nurse services include?

Every mum knows that the real challenge of motherhood comes after giving birth. With the little one on the way, a maternity nurse can give you the support and help you need. Here is the range of services that you can expect when you hire a baby nurse near you: 

 

Assisting feeding of baby 

Whether you are breastfeeding or bottle-feeding, your hired maternity nurse can assist you and your partner in feeding your child. A home nurse for a baby can help sterilise and clean milk bottles, prepare formula and other necessary supplements, and assist with the proper handling of the infant when feeding. 

 

They can also advise new parents on properly settling the infant after feeding, especially during the night. 

 

Bathing and diaper changing

Many parents struggle with bathing and changing their children. When you hire a maternity nurse near you, they can demonstrate proper hygiene practices and help keep your baby clean and feeling fresh throughout the day. Your Tasker can also help properly dispose of or wash used diapers and launder soiled clothes or blankets. 

 

Monitoring of baby’s wellbeing

Infants are susceptible to various stressors, such as changing weather and climate, noise in their surroundings, or allergens in food and their environment. A maternity nurse is trained to respond to these quickly and effectively, provide first aid, and can help administer medication or treatments recommended by your paediatrician. 

 

If your infant has any existing health conditions, then your Tasker can help give the proper care and medical attention that they may need.

 

Implementing a routine for baby

Babies and young children thrive on repetition and routine! If you’re a working parent or have other children at home, committing to a schedule can be difficult. A baby nurse is typically trained to work round-the-clock and help feed, clean, and settle your baby on a schedule. This allows your infant to feel more secure (and also keeps their vitals in good order). 

 

Managing nursery and equipment

Moms and dads: if there’s anything you shouldn’t be stressing about, it’s a messy nursery. Apart from caring for your baby, your Tasker can help keep your nursery tidy, manage the inventory of essentials such as baby formula, bottles, and diapers, and clean, monitor, and maintain any other equipment you may have at home. This way, nothing gets lost or broken.
