Breastfeeding is encouraged.
We suggest you to put your baby to your breast as soon as possible after your vaginal delivery is completed. The midwife will help you do this.
If you have had a Caesarean section the midwife will help you do this as soon as you are in your postnatal room or in Recovery ward if a "baby friendly" Caesarean section at the San.
As well as midwife support, there are expert lactation consultants in both hospitals available to assist you.
When you go home help is only a phone call to the hospital away!
