Postnatal & Newborn Care at Lancaster Medical Centre

Nurturing You and Your Little One

The journey into parenthood is filled with joy, wonder, and sometimes, a little overwhelming. At Lancaster Medical Centre, we’re here to support you every step of the way. Our comprehensive postnatal and newborn care program is designed to nurture both new mothers and their babies, ensuring a smooth and healthy transition into this exciting new chapter.

For New Mothers: Reclaiming Your Wellbeing

The postnatal period is a time of significant physical and emotional adjustment. We understand the unique challenges you face and offer personalized care to help you thrive.

Personalised Postnatal Check-ups: Our experienced healthcare providers offer comprehensive check-ups to monitor your physical recovery, including wound healing (if applicable), and address any postpartum discomfort. We also prioritize your emotional wellbeing, discussing any concerns and providing support.
Emotional Wellbeing Support: We recognize the emotional rollercoaster that can accompany new motherhood. Our compassionate team offers confidential counselling and support for postpartum depression, anxiety, and the "baby blues." We're here to listen and provide the resources you need.
Nutrition & Wellness Guidance: Nourishing your body after childbirth is crucial. Our specialists provide tailored advice on nutrition for breastfeeding and recovery, as well as safe and effective post-pregnancy fitness routines. We'll help you feel your best, inside and out.
Family Planning Support: When you're ready, we offer comprehensive family planning services. Our team can discuss various birth control options and help you make informed decisions about your future family.

For Newborns: Giving Your Baby the Best Start

We’re dedicated to ensuring your newborn’s healthy development and providing you with the knowledge and confidence to care for your little one.

Comprehensive Newborn Check-ups: From the first few days to the first few months, our newborn check-ups monitor your baby's growth, development milestones, feeding, and overall health. We'll answer all your questions and address any concerns you may have.
Vaccination Program: We follow the recommended vaccination schedule to protect your baby from preventable diseases, ensuring they have the best possible start in life.
Breastfeeding Support & Guidance: Our team is dedicated to helping you establish successful breastfeeding. We offer expert guidance, support, and resources to ensure a positive breastfeeding journey. We can help with latch difficulties, positioning, milk supply, and any other breastfeeding challenges you may encounter.
Newborn Care Education: We empower new parents with essential knowledge about newborn care, including safe sleep practices (SIDS prevention), feeding techniques (bottle and breastfeeding), diapering, bathing, and recognizing signs of illness.
Parenting Resources & Workshops: We provide access to a wealth of information and resources on various aspects of parenting, including infant sleep, settling techniques, nutrition, and early childhood development. We may also offer workshops on topics like baby massage and infant CPR.
