Family Nest Hotel, Meilahti
Keywords:In our Family Nest Hotel, we provide postpartum care for healthy new mothers and their newborns based on individual needs. The Family Nest Hotel is located at Hotel Scandic Meilahti, and it is part of the services of Women’s Hospital.
The Family Nest Hotel offers peaceful surroundings for you to rest and get to know your newborn. In addition to the newborn and the mother, also the spouse or other support person and the newborn’s siblings can stay in the same room. The Family Nest Hotel will not charge for the support person’s, spouse’s or the newborn’s siblings’ stay, but their meals are not included.
We will monitor the health of the mother and the baby at care appointments three times a day. In addition, we provide guidance in breastfeeding and other assistance as needed. We also provide families with a tablet computer to use that includes videos of breastfeeding and baby care. Our pediatrician will examine the baby before you go home.
At Postnatal Appointments, we provide care and guidance to families of newborns after discharge from the hospital. If your baby needs a follow-up visit within the first two weeks, we will schedule an appointment either at Postnatal Appointments or with a midwife who makes house calls.
