After you baby is born your Midwife will visit you six times during the first week, three times the following week, twice in the third week and you will receive one final visit in the fourth week.

During these appointments your midwife will be doing the following:

  • Recognise and advise on conditions such as jaundice.

  • Give information about routine screening tests which can be offered to your baby.

  • Advise on sleeping positions and the prevention of cot death.

  • Help you gain confidence in caring for your baby.

  • Check your health to ensure your optimum recovery.
  • Give assistance and support with breastfeeding.

  • Put you in touch with local support groups and opportunities to meet with other parents.

  • Liaise with your health visitor so that you know where to go for ongoing support.

  • Continue to provide telephone support until six weeks after the birth.
