When we trained Karitane Nurses we were taught commonsense rather than a rigid routine should be the guiding factor to successfully nurture a baby. Regularity is important but the routine should be flexible in order to allow the family to run smoothly. We are the only fully qualified nurses who trained in Karitane hospitals specialising in the care of mothers and their babies. Today we combine our
excellent training with our hands on experience, of over 25+ years EACH, in child care, education, nursing and commonsense mother care to give you the best help available. With our 25+ years of experience we have helped a number of Mums and babies with a variety of issues. From people who have just “got out of a good routine” to multiple births. Whatever the situation we have a wealth of experience and down-to-earth advice to help you through. Our main aim is to give you immediate hands on help and practical advice . We work to give you extra skills and helpful hints for your specific situation and make sure you have regained your feelings of confidence for when we leave. Many people call us over one specific issue and find they gain so much more than they ever expected. We specialise in assisting with:
NEWBORN BABIES – we can be on hand to help with the first 48 hours which can be so overwhelming for any new parents
NIGHT FEEDING – taking care of your new baby for the night can be just the tonic you need to re-charge the batteries, not to mention getting a whole nights sleep which can be so valuable in the first few weeks. Or perhaps a night out for Mum AND Dad…
MULTIPLE BIRTHS – having twins and triplets can provide you with special challenges so we are here to assist you in setting up an easy and sustainable routine. MOTHERS AND BABIES WHO HAVE JUST GOT OUT OF THEIR ROUTINE – are you feeding every 2 hours and getting completely exhausted or are you getting only 3 hours between feeds at night? SPECIFIC ISSUES with feeding, sleeping, bathing - we have helped a number of mums through tough times with feeding or sleeping. Whatever the issue we are confident that we can provide immediate help.
