Heather Wood has been the clinic sister at Thula  since it opened its doors 19 years ago . Natanya Palay joined the clinic in 2023 and is a qualified nurse and midwife.

Thula Baby Centre is a private well baby clinic, offering antenatal preparation classes, lactation support in hospital, as well as after discharge from hospital, and care of your newborn baby, as well as Mum and Dad. We weigh and measure babies, and teach our new parents how to care for them, learning skills for settling them when they fuss, and knowlege and skills to parent with confidence.  Any feeding difficulties are prioritised.  Vaccines are given according to the South African EPI (recommended vaccine schedule) using the excellent government vaccines, as well as private vaccines not available through the state programme.  Dads are welcomed and encouraged to come to clinic visits as are single parents and same sex couples.  Other pertinent issues like expressing, back- to- work, mum self-care, sleeping challenges, routine and starting solids are covered in consultations.
