Breastfeeding
milk
Breastfeeding provides the best possible nutrition for a new baby. Netcare encourages breastfeeding and helps new mothers to initiate breastfeeding within half an hour of the birth, provided that the health of the mother and baby are satisfactory.
In the Netcare maternity units, babies room in with the mothers 24 hours a day from birth, unless they need to be cared for separately due to the mother’s or the baby’s condition. This is done to encourage frequent breastfeeding. We also educate and guide mothers on initiating and sustaining breastfeeding at the antenatal classes. However, we respect the choice of mothers who decide not to breastfeed and provide them with the necessary education and support on formula feeding of their newborn.
Postnatal depression
it's ok
As a mother and baby wellness clinic we also offer support to mothers who experience depression or mood variances through a partnership with the Post Natal Depression Support Association of South Africa (PNDSA).
Suffering with PND can also place stress upon intimate relationships, and there is evidence to show a moderate correlation between maternal and paternal depression that occurs in the postnatal period. This suggests that if a mother is experiencing PND that the father is more likely to be suffering from depression too.
