Thank you to the Dandenong Midwives Association for helping us support our patients, so they can have the best possible start to motherhood, by their baby’s side with a generous donation of 6 new specialised cots, to support comfort and connection with their newborns.
Thanks to a generous donation from the Dandenong Midwives Association, new mums recovering from a caesarean at Dandenong Hospital will have access to 6 new specialised cots, to support comfort and connection with their newborns.
Positioned right at the bedside with adjustable sides, the new caesarean cots mean mums can remain close to their newborns without the strain of reaching or standing, promoting comfort, safety, and ease of care during the crucial early days of recovery.
‘These cots are making a real difference every day for not only our patients’ physical comfort, but for their emotional wellbeing,’ said Emma Cross, Midwife at Dandenong Hospital.
‘As a new mum, not being able to get up out of bed to reach your baby yourself while you’re recovering, can be unsettling.’
‘We want every mum, regardless of how they give birth, to experience all the precious first moments with their baby and build their confidence and bond.’
Thank you to the Dandenong Midwives Association for helping us support our patients, so they can have the best possible start to motherhood, by their baby’s side.
