After birth, the last thing you want to be doing is leaving the house to attend lots of checkups that could be done at home!

You want to rest, recover, and bond with your baby. And for someone to come to you and assess you both (and answer all your questions) from the comfort of your own home.

For these reasons, we offer midwife home visits in Madrid to check on the recovery of mum, partner, and baby in the early weeks, answer all your questions, and show you how to do practical tasks (that may seem scary at first) - like bathing or umbilical cord care! 

What Happens During a Typical Visit:

 

Mother: Check any perineal stitches or Caesarean wound, check and change any dressings, assess uterine involution, and general physical and mental state. Check birth recovery (bleeding, perineal comfort, constipation). Assess feeding (breast, expressing, formula feeding, mixed), and advise.

 

Baby: Check baby is feeding well (wet/dirty nappies and general hydration), assess newborn conditions like jaundice, milk spots, give care advice, check umbilical cord stump, and more!

 

Partner: Check how your partner is doing after the birth, and answer any questions on how they can best support mum and take care of the baby!

DURATION:
The first visit usually lasts around 90 minutes. Subsequent visits may take less time.

USAGE:
We would advise the first visit is done within 48 hours of returning from hospital in order to address newborn care and feeding doubts asap, check the mother's recovery, and be sure both parents are coping with their new roles.

 

In the case of more than one visit, we would advise all visits are completed in the first 4 weeks of baby's life.
