What is Postnatal care?

At Watershed Care Services, we understand that welcoming a new baby into your family is one of life's most exhilarating experiences. Alongside the immense joy and excitement, the transition into parenthood can also present challenges, including sleep deprivation and new responsibilities that may feel overwhelming. Our mission is to provide you with unparalleled care and support during this significant period, ensuring your journey into parenthood is as delightful and memorable as possible.

Personalised Postnatal Care at Your Service

Recognising that each family's needs are unique, we offer bespoke postnatal care tailored to suit you. Whether you need daily visits in the initial days and weeks following your baby's arrival, or less frequent support as you grow more confident in your new role, our maternity nurses and support workers are here to assist you, both in the hospital before discharge and in the serene comfort of your home.

Comprehensive Support for New Parents

Our postnatal care extends beyond just physical assistance; we're dedicated to providing emotional support as you navigate the joys and challenges of life with a newborn. This can be either a round-the-clock service or visiting service that ensures you have access to the support you need, whenever you need it. We’ll support you with:

• Daily Postnatal Checks: Regular assessments for both you and your baby to ensure you're both adjusting well.

• Breastfeeding Support: Tailored assistance from our expert team, including an intensive breastfeeding support package if you encounter challenges.

• Bottle-Feeding Assistance: Guidance and help with bottle-feeding to ensure your baby's nutritional needs are met.

• Night Feeding Support: Assistance during those late-night feedings to help you get the rest you need.

• Newborn Hygiene Care: Support with bathing, and skin care, ensuring your baby's comfort and wellbeing.

• Home Support Services: From tidying the baby’s room to light household duties, our Maternity Support Workers are available to lend a helping hand, allowing you to focus on bonding with your baby.
