Postnatal Care

After your baby arrives, I'll be round to see you for a series of warm, at-home visits over 8 weeks, totalling around ten visits. 

​

For baby: 

• A top-to-toe physical check every visit, assessing for common ailments and advising. This Includes cord care, skin observations, eye care, nappy rash etc, regular weight check

• Observing and assisting with breastfeeding to ensure the best positioning and attachment and help you with any problems. Diagnosing tongue tie and referring to further services if required.

• Advice re: formula feeding/expressing.

• Advice on settling a crying baby, and how to get the best sleep possible.

​

For you:

​

•  Postnatal health check, including blood pressure, perineal stitches and advising on healing and recovery.

• Caesarean suture removal and advice on recovery.

• Advice on pain relief and when to take it.
