I had my son at Sandringham 6 weeks ago and cannot speak highly enough of my experience. This was my first child so I was not sure what to expect. The staff are friendly, professional and very supportive. My labor was a bit tough as we alternated between natural delivery and possible ceasar. I had complete faith during that time that the midwives and doctors were making the best decisions for me and my baby. The ward and rooms are a bit old and worn and the food is what you would expect from a hospital (nothing gourmet, but homely). As the rooms are smaller, there are only two beds per room. I was fortunate enough to have a room on my own for the two days I was there. As breastfeeding is always challenging to begin with, I would ring the buzzer every time I needed to feed and someone would always be more than happy to help. If I was to offer any criticism, it would be that the meals menu could have offered more variety for a diabetes diet, that the staff does not always introduce themselves and they all have different approach to breastfeeding/latching which can confuse you a little bit.
