The Masada Early Parenting Centre, previously named the Mother Baby Unit, is a long-standing centre of excellence which offers a state of the art service designed to help parents overcome the physical, emotional and social challenges that a new baby can bring. The name change is in recognition of the diversity of families in the community and to ensure all families seeking to access the service feel welcome.
The Centre offers a five night Residential Program for parents and their infants up to 24 months of age experiencing:
- Feeding difficulties
- Infant sleep disorders
- Irritability
- Reflux and colic
- Maternal exhaustion
- Maternal anxiety
- Adjusting to parenting
Our highly experienced and specialised multidisciplinary team provides a family-oriented program in a luxury facility consisting of 20 private suites and infant settling rooms. Personalised care is tailored to the individual needs of each family by our team of:
- Experienced nurses with qualifications in Midwifery and Counselling
- Maternal Child Health Nurses
- Early Parenting Family Support Workers
- Clinical Psychologists
- General Practitioners
The specialist nurses at the Early Parenting Centre will teach sleep and settling skills using techniques appropriate for infants and toddlers up to 2 years of age. Responsive settling is a gentle approach to interpreting your infant’s cries/grizzles and responding to these accordingly to support them in learning the art of drifting off to sleep independently. We work in partnership with you in finding the best way for you and your infant, based on what you are comfortable with, to achieve your goals.
The Early Parenting Centre is designed to give families more opportunities to address the immense physical, emotional and social transitions associated with having a baby and bring about positive changes.
