Some clients request a 7 day schedule for the first week or two especially if they have had a multiple pregnancy. Some Maternity Nurses will work through 24/7 for the first two weeks before settling down to a 24/6 or 24/5 routine. Please be assured that your Maternity Nurse will prepare you for her time off and will leave you with everything in order along with a written schedule (and sterilised bottles/equipment if you are using them) so that you feel confident when she is off duty. The Maternity Nurse’s day(s) off will give you time to enjoy being alone with your baby and will prepare you for her departure.
