A Bittersweet Goodbye & A Beautiful New Beginning 💛👶🩺
Today, I close an incredibly special chapter in my life—my time with NEST (Newborn Education & Support Training). Working in newborn education has been one of the most meaningful experiences of my career. I’ve had the immense privilege of supporting our students and working alongside some of the most beautiful families and colleagues alike.
And now… I get to bring that same passion and love into a new role that’s been a dream of mine for a long time. I’m beyond excited (and honestly, a little emotional) to share that I’m starting my new journey as a full-time Neonatal Nurse. 💫
This isn’t just a job change—it’s a calling fulfilled. I’ll be right there at the bedside with our tiniest warriors, offering care, comfort, and hope—while holding space for families during the moments that matter most.
To my NEST family: Thank you for being part of my foundation. You helped shape the nurse I am becoming. I leave with deep gratitude, full of memories that will forever live in my heart. Kate Cranston-Stephens without your continued encouragement, help and love this journey would of been a lot harder. I am forever greatful.
To this next chapter: I’m ready. With open hands, a full heart, and the knowledge that every baby deserves love, advocacy, and exceptional care—I’m stepping in.
Here’s to new beginnings, tiny miracles, and the power of showing up with both skill and soul. 🌱🍼💕

Breastfeeding News from the BBC....
A social enterprise CEO believes mothers need more support with breastfeeding as the UK has one of the lowest rates in the world.
Human Milk, founded by Claire Tchaikowski, is a Bristol-based social enterprise that promotes the benefits of breast milk.
Ms Tchaikowski told BBC Radio Bristol's John Darvall that despite about 80% of new mothers in the UK setting out with the desire to exclusively breastfeed, less than half make it past six weeks.
NHS midwife Amina Hatia said: "The reality is, breastfeeding is a skill that needs to be learnt and honed."
Ms Tchaikowski believes there is little time for midwives to support women with breastfeeding after they have given birth, due to an already stretched health service.
"Unfortunately the hospitals are rushed off their feet with midwifes are already seeing too many women just for birthing," she said.
Figures from the Human Milk website state half of new mothers in the UK quit breastfeeding by week six. Nine out of 10 said they did not want to quit but they could not find the help they needed to make it work.
UNICEF figures show England's exclusive breastfeeding rates drop from 81% at birth to 24% at six weeks, and 17% at three months.
Experts claim breastfed children have a boosted immune system, less chance of developing several cancers, infections, and a lower risk of developing asthma and allergies.
It is associated with everything from better resistance to disease to having a healthier bodyweight.
Amina Hatia, who is co-midwifery manager at Tommy's Midwives, a London-based charity offering support pre and post-pregnancy, told the BBC midwives do have time to help new mothers but parents need to know who to ask for support.
She said: "Many trusts throughout the country are now offering antenatal breastfeeding classes and those that access these tend to do better with breastfeeding.
"Being prepared with information makes a huge difference - the post-natal period is not the ideal time to be learning," she added.
Ms Hatia said the main thing parents can ask for after giving birth is the infant feeding team.
She said: "If you connect with this team in the hospital, they can let you know who can support you when you're home. The NHS have community teams willing to help."
'Not good enough'
An NHS spokesperson said: “Every mother and baby deserves the highest quality care and support.
"While the NHS has made improvements to maternity services over the last decade, we know that many pregnant women and their families’ experiences are still not good enough.
"We are increasing investment to grow our maternity workforce, strengthen leadership and improve culture."
