Frequently asked questions
Who are your services for?
Nest and Nurture has been designed to offer support to families navigating the fourth trimester and beyond. Whether you’re in the midst of preparing to welcome your baby, adjusting to life with a newborn and all that comes with that, in the depths of sleep deprivation or simply looking for some extra guidance, I’m here to help.
Additionally, if you’re looking for some well-deserved TLC and like the sound of a healing
postpartum massage, you’re in the right place!
I am an experienced midwife and a qualified infant sleep consultant with a genuine deep-rooted passion to support your family.
Do you offer home visits?
Yes! Fourth trimester planning and support is all intended to be offered through home visits. I come to your safe space so you have no need to feel any pressure to get somewhere by a certain time. (Please don’t feel the need to tidy up for my arrival either!)
Sleep support 6 weeks onwards is typically email and phone based, however, I’m very happy to accommodate in-home support if you feel that would be best suited to you and your family.
Can you help with postpartum planning?
Absolutely! We often put a lot of energy into planning for our labour and birth experience, and whilst I whole-heartedly agree that this is important, I encourage you to put the same thought into planning for postpartum too. It can make all the difference!
I love sitting with parents to be, learning who you are, what your support network looks like and working with you to develop a plan that will help you feel held during those early weeks.
At what age can you help with sleep?
From birth up to four years of age.
Between 0-6 weeks, the focus is more so on normal newborn behaviour; feeding, settling, common problems and the practicalities of adjusting in those first few weeks. Beyond this, we can start working on predictability and introducing routines and support to optimise yours and your baby’s sleep.
What is your approach to sleep training?
My approach is simple – whatever works for your family!
My guidance encourages a responsive approach and with absolutely zero talk of ‘cry it out’. This is a common misconception in the world of sleep support – sleep training does not mean leaving your baby to cry! I have many gentle options in my tool box; your sleep plan will be personalised, based on your parenting style, your baby’s temperament and your family set up.
Can you help if I’m breastfeeding?
Yes, and I love to! Whilst I’m not an IBCLC, I have nearly 14 years of experience as a midwife and have supported countless families with infant feeding. I’ve also had the privilege of working alongside many amazing lactation consultants (some of the best if you ask me!) and have a lot of experience in offering evidence-based, holistic support and education. Of course, if your feeding journey requires more specialised care, I’ll always encourage this and refer you on to make sure you’re receiving the most appropriate support.
Do I need to be struggling to book support?
Not at all. Booking in for support before you feel overwhelmed or face challenges is something I would always encourage. Being fully informed and prepared may be exactly what you need to feel confident and calm as you step into your postpartum journey.
