Well Baby Nursery
NSP’s Well Baby nursery is equipped with baby bathing facilities, nappies, wraps and formula should you require it. The nursery provides a spacious area where staff are able to supervise you bathing your baby and where some of the education classes take place such as bathing, settling and discharge home talks.
The nursery is available for your use overnight if you choose. If your baby wakes for a feed, you will be phoned and asked to come to the nursery to collect your baby to feed. This ensures you are awake for the feed, which helps with correct attachment. If you have had a Caesarean section on the first night staff will bring the baby to you.

The Special Care Nursery at North Shore Private Hospital is a Level 2 nursery that is able to provide care for babies born from 32 weeks. The Special Care Nursery Staff are all highly qualified registered nurses and midwives who specialise in the care of babies requiring extended specialist care. Six paediatricians are on staff, one of whom is on call twenty-four hours a day.
