Coming Home & Newborn Care Consultation
Personalised support to live the first weeks with your baby with more peace of mind, and find your new bearings as a family.
Coming home from the maternity ward marks the beginning of a new stage. Between discovering your baby, daily care, family organisation and the many adjustments of the first weeks, it is normal to have questions and to need time to gain confidence.
This consultation gives you personalised time to take stock of daily life with your baby, answer your questions and support you through this transition into your new family life.
This consultation can help you:
- Gain confidence in the everyday care and handling of your baby
- Go back over advice or practices covered during your maternity stay
- Better understand your newborn’s needs and their first rhythms
- Adapt your family organisation to this new stage of life
- Answer your questions about the first weeks with your baby
- Revisit your birth experience, if you feel the need to talk about it
Support that complements your perinatal care
This consultation complements the follow-up provided by the professionals of your perinatal journey (midwife, doctor, paediatrician, paediatric nurse…). It offers dedicated time for the questions of daily life with your baby, for understanding their needs and for building confidence as new parents.
When a situation calls for specific care, you will naturally be referred to the most suitable healthcare professional.
