Frequently Asked Questions
When should I arrange for mother and baby care services?
Ideally, services should be arranged before your delivery date to ensure support is ready when you return home. However, many providers can also accommodate last-minute requests based on availability of their specialists. Early booking is recommended to secure your preferred provider.
What qualifications do mother-baby care specialists have?
These specialists typically include registered nurses with maternity experience, certified lactation consultants, trained postpartum doulas, and newborn care specialists. All have extensive training in postnatal care, infant development, and breastfeeding support. Provider profiles detail specific credentials.
Can specialists help with twins or multiple births?
Yes, many specialists have specific experience in caring for multiples. They provide tailored support for the unique challenges of twin or triplet care, including specialized feeding techniques and establishing effective routines. Be sure to mention multiple births when searching for providers.
What are the costs for mother and baby care services in the UAE?
In the UAE, postnatal packages typically range from AED 150-300 per hour for daytime support or AED 3,500-7,000 per week for full-time care. Specialized services like lactation consulting cost AED 400-800 per session. Night nurses or sleep specialists range from AED 200-350 per night or AED 10,000-18,000 monthly for ongoing support. Many providers offer bundled packages for the first 40 days (6 weeks) postpartum, a traditionally important period in Middle Eastern cultures.
Are mother-baby care services covered by health insurance in the UAE?
Some premium health insurance plans in the UAE offer coverage for postnatal support, especially for medical aspects like lactation consulting, postnatal check-ups, and newborn care when medically indicated. Insurers such as Bupa, Cigna, and Daman Premium plans may include limited coverage for home postnatal visits. Extended support and night nursing are typically not covered and are paid out-of-pocket by most families.
Are there culturally-specific postnatal practices supported by UAE mother-baby care services?
Yes, many providers offer specialists familiar with traditional UAE and Middle Eastern postnatal practices including the 40-day recovery period, special postpartum meals and nutrition, traditional massage techniques, and cultural newborn care rituals. Some services specifically cater to Emirati families and other Arab nationals with care that respects religious practices and cultural traditions important during the postnatal period.
