Believing in having a routine for baby and parents alike, I decided to complete the NEST Routine course at level 3. By examining the complexities of the family dynamic, I suggest a routine to the family that works for all and also, to develop a routine that allows the baby to quickly establish his own routine and rhythm.
As I was a new student with NEST, I attended the postnatal carer/non-medical maternity nurse course before completing this course.
This course is accredited by the Open College Network (OCN OTC) at level 3 and carries 15 credits.
