Postnatal CareDaily visits in the first five days enable extensive time and support with feeding and all aspects of baby care. We will look back over the birth and address issues concerning your own recovery and well-being, as well as anything arising for you, your partner or older siblings. Visits continue until 6 weeks after the birth, fitting in with your family's needs. During this time I will arrange for a medical examination of the baby, liase with your GP and Health Visitor, discuss and perform screening tests for your baby should you decide to have them. I will monitor your baby's well-being and your healing and recovery. Visits will become less frequent as your confidence grows. At your final 6 week visit, I will provide you with a copy of your maternity notes - a story of your baby's arrival, which can become a keepsake for life. My support during the postnatal time aims to empower you, to see yourself as the true expert of your baby's well-being and to become attuned to your baby's needs as well as your own.

'The postnatal care was the most important & valuable part of the care. I had never imagined how crucial and supporting it would be to have all the visits we had - especially as first time parents. Everyone should have this. Great to learn about breastfeeding bit by bit over the first days and also to have time to talk about & debrief the birth.' Una, 2007 |
