Newborn Care Specialist & Mother Support
At Maternity & Mama, we are committed to guiding parents through the rewarding yet challenging journey of pregnancy and early parenthood. Our expertise lies in newborn care, along with pre- and postnatal fitness and nutrition, ensuring both you and your baby thrive.
Newborn Care
Bringing a new life into the world is a beautiful yet transformative journey, and both the newborn and the mother deserve dedicated care and support during this time. In my Newborn Maternity Care Package, I ensure that I care not only for the baby but also for the new mama. This includes providing emotional, physical, and maternal support to help both thrive in these early weeks.
Navigating the early days with your baby can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. As an experienced newborn care specialist, I offer personalized guidance to help you care for your little one with confidence. From establishing healthy sleep patterns to feeding support and developmental milestones, we’re here to ensure a smooth transition into parenthood.
Sleep Training
Helping your baby develop healthy sleep habits from the start can make a world of difference for both baby and parents. My Gentle Sleep Training approach is designed to create a personalized, stress-free sleep plan that fits your family’s unique needs and parenting style.
While I am with you, I will confidently guide you through sleep training your baby at the appropriate time. However, sleep patterns can regress due to developmental leaps and growth milestones. In my continued commitment to your family’s sleep success, I will equip you with the tools to re-establish healthy sleep habits if setbacks occur.
Maternal health and well-being and birth recovery
Stay strong, energized, and prepared for the demands of motherhood with our tailored fitness programs. Whether you’re expecting, recovering postpartum, or somewhere in between, our certified trainers create safe, effective workouts designed for your unique needs.
Nutrition plays a vital role in your health and your baby’s development. I provide expert advice and custom meal plans that support your body during pregnancy, aid recovery postpartum, and help you maintain your energy levels while nurturing your newborn.
Testimonials
From the start, which for Ronni begins whilst you’re pregnant, I felt looked after and like we had a professional sounding board for navigating pregnancy, newborn purchases and all the hurdles that get you to birth and beyond.
Once Ronni arrived after our baby was born, we couldn’t have asked for a better, safer, more friendly set of hands. As first time parents, we felt really at ease, knowing we had someone to talk to every-other night about any worries or questions we might have.
Ronni was great with our daughter, they created a lovely bond very quickly and she was also fun to be around and have in our house.
All in all, I couldn’t recommend Ronni enough. We will be back…!

Ronni McKay was with us from 13th August 2024 to 14th October 2024. Ronni was amazing. She was patient, caring, professional and incredibly knowedgable. She spent 3 nights a week with us, supported us through various hurdles by offering invaluable advice on postpartum recovery, breastfeeding, reflux and lots more. She helped us to establish a solid routine and with her guidance and support, we were actually able to enjoy the newborn period! We could not have asked for a more positive experience.
We cannot recommend Ronni highly enough and look forward to working with her again if we have another baby.

Ronni was a lifesaver when we had our baby boy – our first. She is a fantastic night nanny, and gave us some much needed rest and we had perfect confidence in leaving our baby with her – her experience with babies far outweighed ours!
But Ronni was more than a night nanny, she was a friend and a mentor. She was always there to give me advice and reassure me that the latest thing I was worrying about was in fact totally normal. She gave us tips and solutions when our boy had stomach troubles and also encouraged me to rest and enjoy my time with my baby.
Ronni also bonded with our little boy and he loved his time with her – Ronni was the first to hear him laugh!
Quite frankly, lI’m not sure how we would have coped in the newborn stage without her. Thanks Ronni for everything.
Amber
We couldn’t recommend Ronni enough. Not only did she help enormously with the nights but she also gave us plenty of great advice from feeding tips to establishing routines. Thanks to her we were able to put some strong sleep foundations in place from an early age. We loved her positive energy and warmth and always felt really supported by her.

Ronni has been our night nanny for the last 3 months and has been fantastic help with our little boy Max. Ronni came to our family when Max was 12weeks old, prior to this we had been in lockdown. At this point as a second time mum, I wanted someone to let me sleep and give me a few pointers on a schedule.
Ronni is really friendly and reliable and has been very flexible with her time. Ronni knows her stuff but she has a gentle approach. She gives advice, but she’s not pushy. When teaching Max to fall asleep in his cot by himself, she did so gently making sure that he didn’t get too upset.
Ronni helped me with Max’s need to suck to sleep on the bottle. This was causing issues with night wakings as I would have to make him a bottle if he wasn’t hungry and it meant he was having bottles before day naps as well. Ronni helped him to settle by himself in his cot without a bottle and made it easy without any upset. Ronni also helped me to move his bedtime schedule so that he wasn’t waking up too early in the morning.
Max adores her and so does my eldest daughter who is 7! When I come into his room in the mornings, they will both be playing with her.
Now Max sleeps through the night, doesn’t need comforting or settling in the night and has a great day routine and I owe a lot of this to Ronni.
