Maternity & newborn care

Maternity support

Reassurance from hospital discharge to home life

A maternity professional can support the transition home after birth, helping parents understand newborn care and establish a routine that works for their family. Arrangements may be live-in, live-out, daytime or overnight, depending on the professional, dates and family requirements.

Support is practical and confidence-building rather than prescriptive. Parents remain at the centre of decisions, with medical concerns referred to the appropriate doctor, midwife or paediatrician.

• ✓Daytime or overnight support
• ✓Live-in or live-out arrangements
• ✓Single babies, twins and multiples
• ✓Help alongside older siblings

Newborn care

Practical help during demanding early weeks

Newborn support may include settling, bathing, safe sleep routines, sterilising feeding equipment and helping parents organise the baby’s space and day-to-day needs. Feeding support is offered according to the professional’s qualifications and the family’s chosen approach.

Overnight care can give parents an opportunity to rest while the baby is supported safely. The exact duties and waking arrangements are agreed before the booking.

• ✓Feeding and bottle preparation support
• ✓Settling and sleep routines
• ✓Newborn safety and hygiene guidance

Antenatal & postnatal

Support before birth and after your baby arrives

This service can be particularly valuable for international families living in or visiting the Balearic Islands who want clear, familiar-language support around local systems.
