Why MotherWise
Because the early days shape everything that follows
Becoming a mother is a transformation. And like every transformation it needs support.
MotherWise is your calm, experienced companion, in the early days after birth.
We will help you care for your baby, care for yourself and settle into motherhood without overwhelm or confusion.
We will protect your space, ease your load and help you tune into the mother within – the one who already knows exactly what to do.
A Different Kind of Support
MotherWise is a framework that offers a structured and predictable approach to postnatal care. A similar framework is used in some countries in Northern Europe (for example the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium). This model has been adapted and applied to the UK and it doesn’t rely on the mother knowing what to request.
It’s not just “on call” support — it’s scheduled, active, daily care in the home. It takes responsibility for the rhythm, the checklist, the safety net. It supports the whole family, including older siblings. It gently monitors physical recovery and feeding. It makes sure nothing slips through the cracks.
For many first-time parents, that structure is exactly what makes the difference between coping and thriving.
For second (or more)-time parents, you already know how it goes. After birth the support fades away. You’re sent home with a baby, a body in recovery, and a toddler who still needs lunch, cuddles, and their bedtime story.
With MotherWise, you don’t have to organise anything. You don’t have to explain. You don’t even have to ask.
We are there — every day for 8 consecutive days, 4 hours a day (weekends included), with a calm, competent presence who simply knows what to do.
When you see it in action it looks very natural and simple, but behind the scenes lies lived experience, deep cultural insight, and careful adaptation. That invisible work is what makes us different.
It’s not just about who delivers the care — it’s about how, when, and why. And this is what MotherWise offers.
What makes our care different
We are proactive
We don’t wait to be told. We walk in and begin. You can be in the shower, the bed, or tears — we’ve got you.
We do things with you and for you
Not just advice. Not just reassurance. We change the sheets. We weigh the baby. We show you how to pump and clean the parts. We tidy the hallway.
We are reliable
No cancellations, no guessing who’s coming. We’re committed, consistent, and there when you need us — every day, no gaps.
We support the whole family
Baby, mum, dad and the older siblings too — with gentle attention and practical help so they feel held, not left behind.
We monitor, we guide, we act
We track nappies. We check feeding. We observe growth. We notice what others miss. We’re the second set of hands and eyes that supervises everything.
