Postnatal Support
After a hospital birth, visits are scheduled for day 3, 5, 7, 10 and 14 for both mum and baby checks.
Weekly visits until your baby is 6 weeks old for ongoing breastfeeding and postnatal support is recommended.
The first 24 hours at home while getting to know your new baby can be very overwhelming. Therefore, a visit the day after discharge can also be arranged.
Prescription medication will be given if required. Referral to a lactation consultant will also be offered if needed.
Postnatal Support
If you have not had antenatal care through Bump and Baby or delivered in a private hospital, postnatally if you feel like you need extra support or have delivered in a private hospital home visits can still be arranged.
Postnatal visits are for 60 minutes also in the comfort of your own home.
The visits are scheduled in the first 6 weeks after your birth.
Phone advice will also be offered within certain times as required.
