Back at home - support in your new everyday life

In the postnatal period, Bethesda Hospital supports mum and baby in the postnatal period and in starting everyday life together. Our certified breastfeeding counsellors are happy to help with any questions and problems you may have - not only during the monthly breastfeeding meetings, where mothers can exchange ideas and ask questions.

Our offer is rounded off with courses such as postnatal gymnastics with or without a child, water gymnastics for mums or our popular baby swimming. The Bethesda Hospital is also always on hand for aftercare by a midwife and lots of other practical support.

We are here for you.

Many new mums have a lot of respect for the moment when they are back home with their newborn and the new daily routine awaits them. A midwife is a great help here, looking after you at home and making sure that both you and your baby are doing well.

The midwife will check the involution of your uterus, look after your baby's navel, carry out any necessary blood tests, support you with breastfeeding and give you tips on nutrition. The costs of these services are covered by your health insurance.

If you have not found a midwife by the time you give birth, Bethesda Hospital will organise follow-up care for you at home in cooperation with FamilyStart Basel. You will receive further information during your hospitalisation.

The arrival of a newborn needs to be well prepared, because the right equipment makes the first time after the birth easier.
