VISIT 1

Pre Birth 

Your newborninthecity midwife will visit in your home when you are 37 weeks, to run through last minute birth plans for mum and preparation for baby’s homecoming. We understand that a positive birth and simple tips of what to look out for in the first hours and days will have a great impact on your breastfeeding experience.

VISIT 2- 4

These visits will be in response to, and led by you and your babies needs.  This will predominantly involve feeding and settling.  There may be circumstances by which plans will need to change.  Your newborninthecity midwife will gently guide you along the journey.
