A pilot $30 million program will give QLD new mums the chance to have a visit from a midwife, nurse or other child health professional to give them advice about caring for their new born baby.

Visits in the first 10 days of the newborn’s life will allow parents to seek reassurance on feeding, sleep and behaviour issues and talk them through with a health professional.

I think this is fantastic news for QLD mums and will be a great support particularly for all those breastfeeding questions and problems that mums have in the early days! Hopefully the other states will follow soon.  Definitely a much needed resource.
