After your birth
Support after the birth of your baby
At our Trust, our midwifery team will also provide you with support after the birth which includes:
- unhurried skin to skin contact
- offering the first feed in skin to skin contact and support to breastfeed or bottle feed
- help to identify feeding cues.
If your baby is born at home, the tests will be carried out at home by a community midwife.
If your baby is receiving special care, these tests will be done in the special baby care unit.
