Please take a look at the following advice for the postnatal period.This ensures that all midwifery skills are fully maintained and utilised. We have a team of Maternity Support Workers (MSW's) that help support mothers and their families; they are a valuable part of the maternity team on Mary Ward and they work alongside the midwives.
Mary Ward also has a number of volunteers some of whom have been specifically trained to offer infant feeding peer support.
