Maternity Nurse Training

Maternity nurses are responsible for providing care to women who are pregnant or recently gave birth. 

They may also provide support and guidance to new mothers as they transition into motherhood.

Maternity nurses work in a variety of settings, including hospitals, birthing centres, midwife practices, 

obstetricians’ offices, and even private homes. Regardless of where they work, their primary responsibility 

is to ensure that all patients receive the highest quality of care possible.

Baby 6 weeks to 6 months

Assignment: 7

Baby's grow quick and as such we need to be adaptable 


Three months is a turning point for many babies and their parents. Baby is no longer a newborn anymore and they have officially completed the first quarter of their first year of life. 


They have reached a number of milestones, such as tracking objects with their eyes, reaching and grasping for things with their hands, and pushing up on their arms when lying on their tummy. 

What amazing accomplishments!


For many parents, 3 months marks a time when things get a little easier. 

Some of the not-so-fun parts of caring for a newborn—like colic and constant feeding—have got better.


Explain what activities you could play with baby to encourage their development
A baby at 3months is growing fast and seems to be hungry all the time. Explain what you could advice the parents
The Mother of the baby says they aren't sleeping at night time and asks you to try and keep them awake longer in the day = explain your repsonse and explain why

Assignment: 8 - Documenting

When on duty a Maternity Nurse is required to keep an accurate log of their day/night with baby - The information is to be shared with parents


A complete journal needs to be kept on what time baby fed, how much baby took (if bottle fed), bath times, nappy changes - plus contents of nappies, sleeping times (start and finish) quality of sleep, walks (times and places walked) people we spoke to and places you went. 

The journal also needs to include any concerns ie: red eyes or snotty nose etc 


Accidents do happen! An accident book must always be at hand - all 'accidents' must be reported and signed off by either a witness and parent at the end of the shift!

Include exact time, where, how and who was there ( this is in place to protect you and the parents)

With this in mind, your assignment create a journal where this information can be logged, clearly.
