Our Well Baby Clinic is an essential service to every new family, especially one without the support of family and friends from home. In addition to weighing and measuring your baby to track growth and progress, our Registered Nurses (Health Visitors and Maternal and Child Health Educators) provide essential feedback, assistance and advice on raising and caring for your newborn and infant.
Our nurses will look after the development of your baby, and be able to provide answers and support on questions such as:
Anticipated development
Sleep problems
Feeding problems (breast, bottle, bowl)
Play and stimulation
Immunization
Baby health in the tropics
Safety
Our nurses also screen Mothers for Post Natal Depression to make sure that symptoms are detected early and help can be found.
The clinic is drop-in and no appointment is necessary. Clinics typically last about 15 to 20 minutes per session and are run in a social and open atmosphere. Some Mothers come mainly for the socializing and go out for coffee afterwards. You may also book private one-on-one sessions for more in-depth consultations.
