They would have had no problems if I had stayed all day.

Wow we had so much trouble getting support from plunket that we changed provider.  Like I said I am lucky cause i have a resource close, but not everyone has that and the idea of being a ble to go away for a week with jsut baby and having 24 hour support would be so good.

Yep they do have the family centres in Auck,...I ened up going all the way up there in Jan to get help. They were great but at Mothercraft you live in fulltime Mon- Fri with your baby, so help is on hand 24 hrs a day. It was awesome.]]> Sat, 30 Jun 2007 16:04:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8628&PID=169889&title=karitane-hospitals#169889 <![CDATA[Karitane Hospitals : Miss, it probably depends on where...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8628&PID=169829&title=karitane-hospitals#169829 Author: busymum

Don't they have the family plunket centres where you book in for full days so they can help you go through sleep and eat routines to assist with settling and stuff? I am sure we talked about that in antenatal.]]> Sat, 30 Jun 2007 14:15:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8628&PID=169825&title=karitane-hospitals#169825 <![CDATA[Karitane Hospitals : On the contrary, when I had trouble...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8628&PID=169731&title=karitane-hospitals#169731 Author: busymum

oH that sound's so good.  My Mum(not real one) is ex Karitane ans she is awsome source of some great info, but not everone is that lucky so I reakon if some of you ladies got together it could be an awsome thing for Mum's.   No affence to plunket, but they jsut don't have the time or rescorces to do more.  (Oh Mum is in Taranaki not Auckland).]]> Sat, 30 Jun 2007 11:34:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8628&PID=169727&title=karitane-hospitals#169727 <![CDATA[Karitane Hospitals : yes definitely simalar to Mothercraft...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8628&PID=169716&title=karitane-hospitals#169716 Author: susieq

yes definitely simalar to Mothercraft unit at waikato Hospital,
We had a Mothercraft unit at the hospital where Mums could stay with their babies, then we had a prem ward, a general ward where we had babies who were bottle fed and came in for feeding or sleepimg problems and also a toddlers ward again for feeding or sleeping problems with toddlers]]> Sat, 30 Jun 2007 11:09:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8628&PID=169716&title=karitane-hospitals#169716 <![CDATA[Karitane Hospitals : Yeah I think they should be.

Yeah I think they should be. I think they were similar to what the Mothercraft Unit at Waikato Hospital is like, and its so good there. It really helped us, and I know the others on here that have gone found it very worthwhile too.]]> Fri, 29 Jun 2007 17:26:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8628&PID=169291&title=karitane-hospitals#169291 <![CDATA[Karitane Hospitals : Hi all, As an ex Karitane Nurse/...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8628&PID=169174&title=karitane-hospitals#169174 Author: susieq

Hi all,
As an ex Karitane Nurse/ and also since 2001 a trained Nanny after reading some of the problems you guys have with babies not sleeping and feeding issues as well I wish the Karitane Hospitals were still around.]]> Fri, 29 Jun 2007 15:01:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8628&PID=169174&title=karitane-hospitals#169174
