The Sister Mama...

Hattie Moleta

CERTIFIED NEWBORN CARE SPECIALIST

I’m Hattie

Mama to three daughters, wife to Tim, and lover of all babies.

I have spent decades caring for infants, and now I am privileged to use all the skills I have learned to help other mamas.  I am a Certified Newborn Care Specialist (CNCS) & Newborn Sleep Consultant.

With a comprehensive background in health and infant education, I provide expert guidance that is informed by the latest research and best practices in baby care and sleep. Continuous professional development ensures that my advice is always current and effective.

I am passionate about the care for new mothers and their emotional wellbeing during that precious postpartum time. A time when you are getting to know your new baby… and your ‘new self’ with a baby! I know there is a great need for extra care for our mamas in those early months.

Sleepless nights, questioning yourself, being overwhelmed. I’ve been there. And now, I’ve been there for many mamas. I give support, reassurance and confidence to new parents.

Every baby is different. I’m yet to meet a family I can’t help. Being with you and your baby in your home, allows me to provide you with the specific support and guidance you need. Together we will navigate through this new territory, answering those questions and making positive ‘tweaks’ along the way!

For me, the name ‘A Sister Mama’ encompasses warmth, care & comfort. A hug in a name.

I look forward to meeting you and your little one.
