Planning Your Care

Postnatal Support

 

Breast feeding
  • Our postnatal care will be individually tailored to you, your partner and your new baby.  We are strong advocates of breast feeding and can offer expert advice and support as you and your baby learn this skill together.  We respect all women’s rights to choose their method of infant feeding and will never pressurise any woman to do something with which she is not comfortable.

  • In the initial days following the birth of your baby we will visit you at least once a day to offer support and practical tips. As you grow in confidence you may want less frequent visits but we will always be available to offer support over the telephone or make extra visits if you need us. Especially the morning after a sleepless night!

  • Caring for a new baby is thrilling but it can also be exhausting. We continue our care for 28 days after the birth unlike the NHS where most women are discharged between 10 to 14 days.
