A maternity nurse is a great help for a short (or long) period after you have had your baby and left the hospital. Not only are you very tired but also, despite all your love for your child, you may feel unsure of how to handle the problems of a new baby. The maternity nurse will give you the confidence to cope quickly and can give you a routine to follow to suit your family needs.
The main responsibilities of a private maternity nurse is to care for your baby and assist you in establishing a routine within the home environment. The duties of a maternity nurse also involve supervising and tidying the baby's room and day-to-day laundry for the baby in addition to all areas of caring for your baby.
If you are planning to breast feed then the maternity nurse will support and encourage you with this. If you are going to bottle feed then the maternity nurse will be responsible for sterilising and making up the bottles for your baby.
A maternity nurse is on call for 24 hours a day either 5 or 6 days per week. She is entitled to at least 2-3 hours free time during the day to rest or take a walk. She however is on call should you need her assistance. Her time off per week consists of one full day and one full night; during this time the maternity nurse can ask to sleep alone or take time off outside the home.
