Post-natal Care

As a general rule, post-natal visits occur:

  • daily in the first week, spreading out you become more confident and experienced
  • weekly from the second week to fourth weeks
  • at one month with a final visit at 6/52 to give you a photocopy of your notes

During this time, you have access to my colleague or me, 24 hours a day by telephone.

Post natal visits usually last about I hour, giving plenty of time to check mother and baby, give advice on baby care and breastfeeding and all aspects of ;life with a newborn baby. 

By the last visit at 6/52 you will be confident and competent in your new role as a parent.
