We know that unsettled babies are harder to care for: they put a huge strain on the family’s emotional health and get in the way of positive relationships.

We will be discussing the most up-to-date evidence base for management of symptoms in all milk-fed babies, covering medications, other prescription products, dietary changes and all kinds of other management strategies.

  • What the latest evidence is, and the implications for prevention and management of these troubling symptoms.

  • We’ll be sharing with you the newest spheres of scientific understanding including the microbiome, early neurological development and epigenetics. We will also be exploring existing understanding of allergy and immune disorder, to help you understand the background of the symptoms.

Having a baby is a life-changing event and you will master the skills to enable you to work with families who really need your care and compassion.

You will know how to professionally and empathetically provide the support your new-parent clients need so they feel confident and empowered instead of overwhelmed. You will build trust with parents and be able to communicate effectively – so they see you as their guide and advocate.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

We cannot possibly guarantee someone a job after attending our course (we get asked this daily!). But we can guarantee that you will be provided with up to date evidence-based information, with lots of ongoing support so that you are well prepared to support parents. We strongly believe this makes you best-placed for favourable consideration by prospective clients.

 

We are also a very friendly bunch and always happy to discuss your career goals. Our Facebook Group is also a brilliant place to network with others, and often a place where graduates forward jobs and support each other.

 

We work with a number of leading Nanny and Maternity Agencies in the field (you can find a list of our recommended agencies HERE) and provide support with CV writing as a basic service to all our candidates.

During the course, we focus on how to care for babies and families. There are many ways you can use the skills you will learn during this course, including: 

 

  • Working in the community with the mothers, perhaps as a childcare professional or health professional. 
  • Working as a Nanny where the employer may be having a baby and you want to develop your knowledge in this area. 
  • Working as a Night Nanny – solely wanting to support parents and babies overnight. 
  • Working as a Maternity Nurse caring for newborns. 
  • Perhaps you are working with new mothers and want to develop your knowledge on how to support mothers and babies so you are able to serve your clients better. 
  • Increase your general knowledge so that you can support a member of your family who is having a baby.

Life experience is seen as an asset! We often work with individuals who have had children, and can’t quite believe that you can do what you love as a job!

A good rule of thumb would be two hours per week watching the lessons. If you are completing the level 3 Online Maternity Nurse Training, we estimate it will take 30 hours to complete the assessment paper. If you are completing the level 4 assessment paper this is likely to take approximately 40 hours of learning. 

 

However, the course has been designed to support you to complete the assessment, and we provide you with the key theory and practical steps to ensure you can not only complete the course, but feel confident when working with families. 

 

We take pride in the fact that this is not a ‘light’ course, we want our graduates to feel confident that they are providing the best possible care to families.

Each module (topic) consists of a number of lessons, and most lessons have sub-lessons. After each of the lessons, you will be required to complete short multiple choice questions.
