What’s the difference between midwives and health visitors? Midwives focus on pregnancy, birth, and the first few weeks after your baby is born. They’re there to support your partner, answer your questions about birth, and help with early baby care. Health visitors step in after your midwife care ends and continue to support your family as your baby grows. They’ll check in on your baby’s development, feeding, sleep, and your family’s wellbeing. Both are there for dads too - so don’t hesitate to reach out with questions or concerns. Manage Cookie Preferences
