After birth

At Clinique Générale-Beaulieu, we provide comprehensive mother-child care. We do everything we can to make the birth of your child a unique experience, and to ensure that your stay meets your expectations.

Comprehensive mother-child care

Every day, a midwife or nursery nurse assesses the after-effects of your delivery or caesarean section and provides you with the necessary care.

She will check on the physiological progress of your baby after your delivery (vaginal or caesarean), carry out the usual checks on your baby, help you with day-to-day care (nappy changing, washing, etc.) and assist you with feeding (mother's milk or artificial feeding). She will also help you with hygiene care, as required.

Your baby is cared for in the morning, so that we can adapt our care according to the parameters (weight, temperature, bilirubin, etc.).

During your stay, your baby will have

a hearing test (painless),
a Guthrie test from the third day (taking a few drops of blood from the heel).

By listening to you and making herself available, she will support you in your new role as a mother, while respecting your needs and those of your baby.

A first-class hotel service

A care assistant orders your meals, organises your one-to-one meal and looks after your surroundings (making up your bed, changing your towels, stocking the necessary equipment, etc.). They also answer your calls as often as possible to minimise your waiting time.

The hotel team is responsible for cleaning your room and serving your meals, and also responds to your requests for snacks during the day. You can call them directly using the dedicated bell on the telephone.

Lactation consultations

Whether you want to breastfeed your baby or opt for bottle-feeding, our lactation consultants are there to support you.

Breastfeeding: the importance of consultants

Whether you choose to breastfeed or formula feed, lactation consultants are on hand to advise you and answer any questions you may have. Lactation consultants are on hand 3 days a week at the Clinique Générale-Beaulieu maternity unit to help you with your breastfeeding, both during your stay and after you return home. Outpatient consultations are also organised throughout the breastfeeding period. They provide individualised and personalised breastfeeding care, in line with each mother's wishes and plans. The lactation consultants are also there to reassure you, comfort you and help your family find their balance and independence.

Your insurance will cover three consultations during the breastfeeding period.

Prenatal and postnatal consultations are available by appointment.
