Retiring maternal nurse Margaret Hazelton said concerned mothers often only needed these simple words of encouragement to thrive: “You’re doing a good job.”

Margaret Hazelton has honed her skill of imparting pearls of wisdom to new mothers over almost 60 years as a nurse.

“A simple little confidence boost, saying ‘you’re doing a good job’ ... [then] you see the change in the mothers, their confidence growing and their delight in looking after their children.” Mrs Hazelton said struggling mothers often needed only a bit of encouragement. She recalled bumping into one mother who 20 years earlier had needed a little extra support to care for her baby.“She said, ‘Margaret, you realise that child now is at university’,” Mrs Hazelton said.
