Postpartum 100 Hours €3,500

100 hours, in sessions of 4 hours per day,

5 days a week for first 3 weeks (60 hrs),

then 4 days a week for 2 weeks (32 hrs),

then final 2 sessions in next week (8 hrs).

Total of 25 sessions over 6 weeks.

Schedules can be customised and I'm flexible to change session times over the weeks as baby and parents needs evolve.

I do not ask for an agreed schedule of days / times / shift length before baby arrives. This is because my clients rarely know the level of support or the hours that are of most benefit until they get home with baby. Your baby may take long naps in the morning and then afternoon support may be of more help to you, or your baby may wake a lot during the night initially and morning support to allow the family rest is of most benefit. My clients usually book a package of hours, with a loose idea of the anticipated schedule.
