It is our protocol that our nursery team will keep in touch with mothers after they have been discharged from the hospital. We want to keep in touch with the mothers to see how else we can be of continued assistance to them in terms of advice and practical knowledge, especially in relation to breastfeeding. For any advice or support which cannot be given over the phone, we will advise a consultation visit with a lactation doctor at our Lactation Clinic. We keep a record of each visit and all the details so that we can use this statistical data for service development. Additionally, Samitivej also organizes an Exclusive Breastfeeding Award Ceremony at which we present a special trophy not only to those mothers who exclusively breastfed for 6 months and 1 year but also to our staff who also exclusively breastfed their own babies. These awards are just one part of our commitment to encouraging mothers to breastfeed.
Specialists and Professional Team
To maintain our high standards, our clinic is led by a Neonatologist, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and a team of lactation nurses. We all work with you to help you meet your breastfeeding goals, and to feel more comfortable and confident in breastfeeding your baby so that he or she gets the very best start in life and an unbreakable bond is created between you.
