In an exciting initiative aimed at supporting families, Grow Early Education has partnered with ‘Brisbane Paediatric Nurse’ to offer free expert advice to parents and caregivers.
This collaboration reflects a shared commitment to ensuring the health and wellbeing of children, providing families with the resources they need to navigate the often-overwhelming world of parenting.
About Brisbane Paediatric Nurse
Both Rebekah and Jodie are registered nurses and worked with Queensland Health before setting up their own practice to concentrate on supporting new parents. Their journey started 5 years ago when they began helping parents with newborns across the many areas to navigate as a new parent. Now they provide much needed support around sleeping, nursing, toilet training and child health to parents. Together they bring over 35 years of paediatric nursing experience to the partnership with Grow Early Education centres.
What is the Difference Between a Midwife & Paediatric Nurse?
Many people wonder what the difference between a Midwife and a Paediatric Nurse is? Midwives focus on providing healthcare services to mothers, babies and families throughout pregnancy, labour and the initial postnatal period. Paediatric Nurses are licensed registered nurses with a focus on treating children from infancy to puberty.
The Need for Expert Advice
Parenting can be both rewarding and challenging, with many questions arising about child development, health, and safety. From sleep patterns and nutrition to managing common illnesses, families often seek guidance to ensure they are making informed decisions. Recognising this need, Grow Early Education and Brisbane Paediatric Nurse have come together to provide a valuable and free resource for families.
