Online midwife service for mums

New mums are reaching out via the internet in an effort to settle their newborns during the night.

Popular midwife Cath Curtain offers a new online service, providing urgent advice or guidance to women about their babies.

Cath, a maternal health care nurse for 29 years, makes herself available to parents via Skype, answering any questions thrown her way.

"Babies don't wait, they can't wait for an appointment in six weeks, or wait for sleep school in six weeks," Cath said.

Whether it is problems with sleeping or feeding, mums say Cath has the answers.

New mums say getting help in real-time using Skype reduces stress for parents and makes for happier, more settled babies.
