While breastfeeding is natural, it may not always be straightforward. Both you and your baby need time to learn and adapt, and it is normal to experience challenges along the way. Most of these can be effectively addressed with the right support and guidance from our team of International Board-Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLC).
As a BFHI-accredited hospital, we are committed to providing evidence-based breastfeeding support. The majority of our nurses are trained in lactation support, and we offer an onsite Lactation Clinic dedicated to managing breastfeeding and infant feeding challenges. Our highly qualified International Board-Certified Lactation Consultants provide expert guidance, education, and personalised support to help ensure a successful breastfeeding journey.
We recommend meeting with one of our Lactation Consultants during pregnancy to prepare confidently for birth. Ongoing support is also available throughout your hospital stay. During consultations, our specialists work closely with you and your baby to develop a personalised feeding plan tailored to your individual needs.
In addition, mothers are encouraged to attend our Antenatal Classes and participate in Danat Al Emarat’s monthly Breastfeeding Support Group for continued education and community support.
Danat Al Emarat Hospital is also proud to have received the IBCLC Care Award, recognising our commitment to promoting, protecting, and supporting breastfeeding and the lactation consultant profession..
At Danat Al Emarat Hospital, we provide water birth as an option for mothers seeking a more natural and calming birthing experience. Water birth involves laboring and, in some cases, delivering in a specially designed water pool, offering a gentle and supportive environment that promotes relaxation and comfort.
