Monitoring Baby’s weight
If you’re discharged early, have a very small baby, or your baby has required special care or close weight monitoring, Best Beginnings Midwifery can provide home visits to carefully monitor your baby’s growth. Our midwives can liaise directly with your paediatrician, provide progress updates, and support agreed care plans — always tailored to what works best for you and your family.
Breastfeeding can be a challenging experience for new mothers, but our experienced midwives offer compassionate, hands-on support to help establish and maintain successful breastfeeding practices. From positioning to latch, and addressing common issues like sore nipples or low milk supply, we are there to guide you every step of the way. For those who choose formula feeding, we provide guidance on preparing feeds, managing feeding schedules, and ensuring your baby is getting the right nutrition
Our midwifery care goes beyond just feeding and sleeping. We offer comprehensive guidance on infant care, including baby bathing, soothing techniques, tummy time, and developmental milestones. Our midwives educate parents on how to bond with their baby through gentle touch, eye contact, and responsive caregiving which fosters a secure attachment that supports emotional development
When you’re heading home with your newborn, ensuring a safe environment is essential. Our midwives provide practical tips for setting up a safe home environment, from safe sleep practices (like creating a crib free of hazards) to car seat safety and home sanitation. We can also guide you on creating a soothing space for your baby that promotes both rest and comfort.
The journey to physical recovery after childbirth is unique for each mother. Whether you’ve had a vaginal birth or a cesarean section, our midwives offer advice on how to manage common postpartum issues such as perineal discomfort, vaginal bleeding, and pelvic floor exercises. We also provide support in recognizing signs of complications like infections or abnormal recovery and guide you on when to seek medical attention.
Our midwifery care is rooted in respect for cultural differences and diversity. We understand that different families have different customs, beliefs, and practices when it comes to childbirth and baby care. Our midwives work to respect and incorporate your cultural values while providing the highest standard of evidence-based care.
