When I realized I wanted to become a maternity nurse I moved back to the UK I completed the Maternity Nurse Training course with Babyem.
Be positive and confident, those emotions pass on to their children and they in turn feel that new strength from their parents which aids good sleeping habits.
What is the biggest difference between childcare in the UK and childcare in Spain?
The biggest difference is that mums have only four months of maternity so if you don’t have help from your parents or your in-laws you are forced to go back to work, so you have to bring your 4 months old baby to a full-time nursery. Here you can work only one day etc, whereas in Spain 45% of the families have a split shift, unless you hire a nanny which is less usual thing to do.
The physical benefits of baby massage for baby are incredible. It stimulates circulatory, respiratory, nervous and immune systems.
The experience I have gained has been invaluable – particularly with supporting new mothers and helping to reassure them and encourage them to recognise what a great job they are doing.
