Leighton Hospital Maternity Unit

Leighton Hospital Maternity Unit We aim to provide up to date, evidence based information to pregnant people and their families.

At Leighton Hospital we provide the highest standard of care to mothers, babies and their families. We strive to achieve excellence in our care by working in partnership with others in the multi professional team. We have a dedicated team of Midwives, Obstetricians, Maternity Support Workers, and other Health Care Professionals to support women in their pregnancy journey. We endeavour to create an

atmosphere where there is mutual respect, effective communication, sharing of information, and an agreed, individualised, plan of care for mothers and babies. We maintain high standards by the application of policies which support evidence based practice. Reflection on practice, audits and risk reporting are tools we use to monitor this. We aim to create an inter-professional learning environment, enabling staff and students to develop their full potential, by achievement of their own developmental needs.

The safest place for your baby to sleep is in their own separate sleep space, such as a cot or Moses basket. Whether families intend to co-sleep with their baby, or fall asleep together without having planned to – it's important that families know how to co-sleep more safely, and when co-sleeping carries a much higher risk.

-With the weather being so changeable at the moment it is difficult to know what babies should wear. Remember - once you come inside after spending time with your baby outdoors, remember to remove your baby’s outdoor clothing.
This includes hats and hoods, because babies lose heat from their heads. Remove your baby’s hat or hood when indoors or in a car so they don’t get too hot.
