🌸 SERVICE SPOTLIGHT - COMING HOME AFTER NICU OR SCN

Bringing your baby home is something you've waited for.

But after days or weeks of having nurses nearby, monitors around and someone available to answer questions, arriving home can sometimes feel surprisingly daunting 🤍

Nurturing Newborns can provide individualised support for families transitioning home following NICU or Special Care.

Depending on your baby's needs, a home visit may include:

🍼 Feeding support
⚖️ Growth and weight monitoring
🤍 Helping you build confidence caring for your baby
👶 Understanding your baby's cues
🏡 Adjusting to routines at home
💬 Time to work through your questions and concerns

And sometimes the most valuable part is simply having an experienced neonatal nurse sitting beside you saying:

“Let's work through it together.”

🌸 SAVE THIS - YOUR BABY IS SAYING “I'VE HAD ENOUGH”

Babies can't tell us “I need a little break” - but they can show us.

During play or interaction, watch for things such as:

👀 Looking or turning away
🥱 Yawning
😣 Becoming fussy
🙈 Closing their eyes
🤸 Increasingly jerky or unsettled movements
😭 Beginning to cry

These can be signs that your baby needs less stimulation, a change of activity, some quiet time or possibly sleep.

It doesn't mean they don't want to interact with you.

They may simply have had enough for now 🤍

🌸 SAVE this so you can come back to it - or SHARE it with someone learning their new baby's cues.

🏡 FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE 100 QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR BABY?

Sometimes you don't need an appointment for one particular “problem”.

You might want to talk about feeding...

Then ask about sleep.

Then mention something your baby has started doing.

Then remember you've been wondering about starting solids. 😂

That's completely okay.

A Nurturing Newborns home visit is individualised to you and your baby.

I'm Kelly, a Neonatal, Paediatric & Child Health Nurse and I provide practical support, education and reassurance in the comfort of your own home 🤍

We can talk through whatever is important to you.

🍼 Feeding
😴 Sleep & settling
👶 Baby cues & development
⚖️ Growth and feeding concerns
🥄 Starting solids
🏡 Transition home after NICU/SCN
🤍 Or simply those questions you've been saving up

You don't need to know which “service” to book.

Send me a message, tell me what's happening, and we can work it out 🌸

🌸 FROM A NEONATAL NURSE…

3 things I wish new parents worried LESS about

🤍 1. Doing everything exactly the way someone else does it.
Every baby is different. What works beautifully for your friend's baby may not be what works for yours.

🤍 2. Having everything figured out straight away.
You and your baby are learning about each other. Feeding, settling, sleep and recognising those little cues can take time.

🤍 3. Asking too many questions.
There really is no such thing as a silly question when you're learning to care for your baby.

After years of caring for babies and supporting families, one thing I know is that confidence doesn't appear the day you bring your baby home - it grows as you get to know your baby. 🌿

You don't need to know everything.

You just need good information, support when you need it, and time to learn your baby. 🤍

🌸 Save this for one of those days when you're questioning yourself - or share it with a new or expecting parent who might need to hear it.

💗 MYTH VS FACT

❌ MYTH: “If my baby wakes soon after being put down, they can't possibly be tired.”

✅ FACT: Sometimes babies wake shortly after settling and still need more sleep.

They may have been disturbed during the transition into sleep, startled, become uncomfortable, or simply need some extra help settling again.

A short sleep doesn't automatically mean your baby has finished sleeping.

Before assuming nap time is over, take a moment to watch their cues.

🥱 Are they yawning?
👀 Avoiding eye contact?
😣 Becoming unsettled?
🤍 Looking like they want to go back to sleep?

Sometimes another cuddle, some reassurance or another attempt at settling is all they need.

And sometimes they're simply ready to get up!

Your baby's cues can help you decide 🌿

🌸 KELLY’S BABY TIP - WATCH YOUR BABY, NOT JUST THE CLOCK

It’s easy to become focused on how long it has been since your baby last fed or slept.

But your baby is giving you information too 🤍

Rather than relying only on the clock, look at what your baby is showing you.

They may be becoming hungry earlier than expected.
They may be tired sooner after a busy morning.
Or they may be happily alert when you thought it was “supposed” to be nap time.

Routines can be really helpful - but they don't need to override your baby's cues.

👶 The clock can be a guide. Your baby helps fill in the rest.

🌸 Save this little reminder for one of those days when the routine goes completely out the window!

🤍 SUNDAY REMINDER

You are allowed to change what isn't working.

A routine that worked beautifully last month might not work now.

A settling technique that worked last week might suddenly stop.

A feeding pattern might change.

Your baby is constantly growing, learning and developing - so it makes sense that their needs change too. 🌿

Changing the plan doesn't mean the first plan failed.

Sometimes it simply means your baby has moved onto their next stage.

Take what works for your family right now and leave what doesn't. 🤍

🌸 SAVE THIS: 5 THINGS TO TRY WHEN YOUR BABY WON'T SETTLE

When you've fed them, changed them and you're still wondering “What do you need?” 🤍

Try working through:

🤍 Reduce the stimulation - dim the lights, reduce noise and move somewhere quieter.
👶 Change position - upright against your chest, cuddled or gently carried.
🌿 Check comfort - temperature, clothing, nappy, wind or anything that could be bothering them.
🎵 Try repetitive calming - gentle movement, your voice or another familiar sound.
💤 Consider tiredness - sometimes a baby who seems wide awake is actually struggling to settle because they're overtired.

And sometimes babies simply need you.

You don't have to find the perfect settling technique every time.

🌸 Save this for one of those days - or send it to a parent who might need it.
