Just a review of this hospital. I have delivered here 2 months ago and my experience on the delivery was ok. Not perfect but with the package they offer, it's already reasonable given that Dubai maternity and delivery packages cost an arm and leg. I had an emergency CS here as the baby went distressed. Doctors were very upfront and quick to act on their next step during the complication. I just don't like how they handle their Mother-child / Breastfeeding campaign. They are not a breastfeeding Hospital advocate. Nurses & Doctors were not aware how skin to skin is crucial on mom and baby once out. Service and private rooms were all very nice. I agree about the breastfeeding thing though! I delivered there in October.. And the doctors were very good and insisted on me delivering normally though I was crying for a C-section due to pain.. But then they asked me if I'd like epidural.. and I gave birth to a baby boy normally.. But they have no in-house lactation consultant and the nurses haven't a single clue how to help a new mom to breastfeed.. I struggled a lot with it (for upto 3 months) and then a new Pediatrician called Doctor Anita helped me out.. She sat with me for half an hour helped me to breastfeed.. But after seeing our struggle she insisted I go to a Lactation Consultant and I did.. And that helped.. Anyway I digress.. As far as the delivery goes.. they are good.. and once my baby was out they gave him the shots and kept checking his Blood glucose and all that (cos I had GD).. Their package is good, nurses are helpful, great doctors and nice comfortable rooms.. Need a little more work in the Breastfeeding area though :)

Very true breastfeeding is not taken seriously in Dubai! And help for it is even more harder to come by :( I came across a thread in here listing Lactation consultants and finally caught a break. Apart from using hot pads or hot waterbottle, I noticed Lactare tablets help in increasing milk production. However please ask your doctor before you start taking them.
