Postnatal follow - up
A time to talk and listen in complete privacy.
It's an opportunity to discuss your questions and concerns, and to get professional advice as soon as you get home.
The midwife looks after the mother's health and the baby's development.
She provides support in many areas, including
breastfeeding or artificial feeding
caring for the baby and mother
adapting the baby
baby's sleep
the mother's hormonal changes
parental insecurity ....
All midwives are trained and specialised in breastfeeding through their training and the many continuing education courses we've given over the years.
During an outpatient birth, we carry out the Guthrie test.
