We believe it is important to bond with your baby as soon possible after
the birth, even if you have delivered by caesarean section.
Following
your recovery period in the birthing room, your nurse or midwife will
bring you and your directly to one of our private inpatient rooms with
bathroom. You will remain in the privacy of one of these comfortable
rooms for the duration of your stay with us.
Each private room
has large windows and some have beautiful views of the Corniche and has
been designed with your comfort and recovery in mind. We believe that a
relaxing and attractive environment will help you to relax and bond with
your baby.
During this precious time, we will do everything we
can to minimize any separation between you and your newborn by assisting
you as much as we can within the comfort of your room. If you plan for
your baby boy to be circumcised, this will be organized for you and we
will do our best to minimize any time spent apart.
We also
understand that you may be very tired, overwhelmed or simply in need of
an extra pair of hands after the birth of your bay. We want to offer you
as much support as you need so we provide a midwife to all the new
mothers in our care to look after you and your baby.
She will
offer you one-to-one support to guide and help you care for your baby.
She will encourage you to have skin to skin contact with your newborn
and breastfeed as soon as possible after birth, providing you with any
assistance you may need, particularly if you experience any difficulty
breastfeeding.
New babies will typically feed on demand and most
will be interested in breastfeeding within one hour of being born.
Feeding regularly is normal behavior and our midwives will help you
recognize your baby’s cues. This can however be tiring for the new
mother so our nurses will be sure to remind you to rest when your baby
is sleeping and provide any additional support should you need it.
