Recently, Hoan My Sai Gon Hospital organized an antenatal class with the theme “Breast Milk Nutrition and Newborn Skin Care,” attracting the participation of many expectant mothers and their family members. The session took place in a lively atmosphere with hands-on activities, direct discussions, and professional Q&A sessions led by Obstetrics and Pediatrics doctors.

At the opening of the class, Dr. Nguyen Thi Thach Thao, Specialist Level I, Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, Hoan My Sai Gon Hospital, shared in-depth insights into the role of breast milk in a child’s overall development. She also provided guidance on proper breastfeeding positions, how to recognize whether a baby is feeding sufficiently, and solutions to help mothers maintain a stable milk supply.

The doctor emphasized that breast milk is not only an ideal source of nutrition but also an important immune shield during a child’s early years. When mothers understand and practice breastfeeding correctly, babies can have a healthy start and reduce the risk of illnesses during the neonatal period.

Continuing the program, Master of Science, Dr. Lam Le Phuong, Head of the Pediatrics Department, Hoan My Sai Gon Hospital, delivered practical knowledge on newborn skin care, helping parents distinguish between normal physiological changes and pathological signs. Her guidance on bathing, skin hygiene, and choosing appropriate products received many questions and positive feedback.

Accompanying Parents Confidently on the Parenting Journey

The care process for mothers and newborns at Hoan My Sai Gon Hospital is built on a comprehensive and integrated model, prioritizing maternal safety while laying a strong foundation for newborn health from the very first hours of life.

The delivery area has been newly invested and developed following a closed “3-in-1” model – including a waiting room, delivery room, and postnatal care area – equipped with modern facilities, one-way filtration systems, and strict sterile control in compliance with Ministry of Health standards.

Here, mothers are closely monitored by obstetricians throughout labor, minimizing movement and ensuring maximum safety. At the same time, pediatricians are present in the delivery room to receive and continuously monitor the baby’s health indicators, perform essential postnatal care, and administer vaccinations according to protocol, supporting a smooth and healthy start for newborns.

With an integrated system of delivery rooms, inpatient rooms, and neonatal care units; modern medical equipment; and a highly experienced medical team, Hoan My Sai Gon Hospital not only provides a safe childbirth experience but also delivers comprehensive care – supporting mothers in a smooth recovery and nurturing babies in optimal conditions from the very beginning.
