maternity nurse

[horsygirl]

does anyone know how much I'd need to pay a maternity nurse to cover nights on the arrival of my lo?

post natal doulas often do overnights, i know there are a number of doulas in manchester.. try www.doula.org.uk and www.nurturingbirth.co.uk for finding someone local

families i have had night nannied for that have breast fed have expressed enough milk for me to do eve feed, night feed and early am feed so they dont have to get up. I usually do 9/10pm- 7am on a sun-thurs then 7/8pm-10/11am on a fri or sat night.

When is baby due?

Hi, I am a maternity nurse so fire away with any questions you may have.
Per 24hrs is norm £150
Agency fee varies
Weekly agency fee can range £75 - £150

If you can find someone without going through agency it can save you a bit.

24Hr is standard on call.

I wouldnt recommend using expressed milk for more than one feed through the night as a general rule.

As i said if you have any further questions, dont hesitate
