Comfort techniques are a great way to soothe your baby – are they hungry, tired, in need of a nappy change?🍼
Some of these will work, & some may not. Every baby is different.

“For me midwifery seemed a role where you’re celebrating a positive moment in someone’s life. You are also able to make a lasting impact, because even if they don’t remember your name, women and families always remember the support they were given." Jessica @RWT_NHS #IDM2021
