Mother and Baby Unit
Information
Welcomes you.
Having a baby in one of the most exciting events in your life. But it can also be a very stressful and challenging time, involving a total change of lifestyle and identity. Being “on call” 24 hours a day for a baby isn’t always easy and some babies have a more difficult start to life than others.
The Mother and Baby Unit has been established to provide support and expert care to families experiencing ante-natal and post-natal difficulties.

- Individual sessions

- Self esteem issues
