Support as you settle into parenthood

Becoming a new parent is a big life change, and it’s completely normal to have questions, worries, and moments of uncertainty. Mediclinic Middle East’s mother and baby groups give you the chance to connect, share experiences, and learn alongside other parents, with guidance from our maternity care team.

Each session’s focus can vary depending on who attends and what they would like to discuss, though most conversations centre on parenting and breastfeeding. Babies are always welcome.

Mother’s Support Group

Mediclinic Middle East invites you to join our free Mother’s Support Group meetings, conducted monthly by certified IBCLC lactation consultants. The team is on hand to offer advice and support to mothers who are breastfeeding their babies, answer questions, allay fears, and give reassurance.

While the focus of these meetings stays on parenting and breastfeeding, each discussion is unique, shaped by the changing mix of participants and their needs. You can get support suited to your individual circumstances, share your own experience and tips with other mothers, and learn about baby feeding and nutrition from the experts. Babies are welcome to come along too.

Occasionally, other specialists such as neonatologists, paediatricians, physiotherapists, or dieticians join the meetings to share their expertise on babies’ development, communication, and future health.

These meetings are completely free. For more information or to book your place, contact us on WhatsApp at +971 52 800 2000.
