What’s it about?

What is Trouble Shooting?

This specialist service works to solve specific problems that babies can have such as all day crying, distress, babies not able to sleep or perhaps refusing to feed.

With the ability to communicate, teach and give parents the confidence to do it on their own, is what makes a troubleshooter different from a regular maternity nurse or night nanny.

As experts they understand that solving a baby’s crying, sleep, feeding or weaning issue is as much about helping the parents as it is in looking after the baby. You may be feeling as if you are alone with a difficult problem and frustrated by the lack of help and support out there but be rest assured I have seen and experienced it all.

Please read through my testimonials page where previous clients have written about their experiences when they have needed help with a problem 

For sleep problems with babies over 6 months please contact me for assistance 

FIX IT WEEK

This program is for mums who are feeling a loss of control in their lives or that perhaps things are heading in direction they do not want to be. Of course it is always best to prevent a problem occurring than to fix it when its got to an unmanageable point but that is what this plan has been designed to do.

As with my other maternity nurse services, this is a full time live in role, which usually takes around a week to implement depending on your and your baby’s particular situation and needs. If you would like to know more about what’s involved and included in this service please feel free to reach out to me I’m always delighted to hear from parents who need help

HOME VISIT 

One of my favourite things to do is visit parents and babies in their own home. Although I can and often do make assessments remotely there is nothing that can compare to gaining an in person view into the problem and discovering the root of it in real time rather than reading a lot of data and having multiple calls. A home visit almost always leads to a faster and more successful resolution to a problem or issue, additionally when I get to know how a family home is set up and works day to day it gives me invaluable insight for any future follow up help they might require.

Most common problems I assist parents with during home visits are;

·      Reflux and/or cows milk protein allergy

·      Daytime routines

·      Sleep problems

·      Weaning to solids

·      Feeding issues (breast and/or bottle feeding)

Whats included with your home visit

·      Assessment of issues or problems being experienced

·      On the spot advice and adjustments given so you can feel an immediate improvement

·      Tailored plan to move forward and reach the desired end point

·      Daily phone call and unlimited messages for 2 weeks

·      Weekly phone call and messaging for up to 8 weeks

* Covering all of Ireland only
