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.

🌙 Calling local parents - we need your tips for new parents!

We’re working with the hospital to support guidance from the Lullaby Trust for families who can’t or choose not to co-sleep for medical or safety reasons. The Lullaby Trust already share some helpful parent quotes, but we’d love to include real experiences from families here in our local community.

If you’ve found little tips or routines that helped you during night feeds or settling your baby, we’d be grateful to hear them. 💛

You can share your thoughts by:
✨ Commenting below
✨ Sending us a DM
✨ Emailing us if you’d like to include your name, your baby’s name/age, or a family photo

Your lived experience helps us create relatable, supportive resources for other parents in our community. Thank you for being part of this 💛
