Want to kick up your heels and put all that delivery suite hassle behind you, then this is the place for you. Imagine having everything on hand where the nursing is done for you twenty four hours a day, your meals are cooked for you, washing done, massages, yoga, morning and afternoon tea, oriental medicine, sauna etc etc. There is a place in Seoul, Korea and it called the Royal Mum and Baby care centre . You can stay for one to three weeks.
As you get out of the elevator on the fourth floor of the Boramae Academy Tower , you are greeted by the green grass and blue sky scenery (albeit fake).
The front entrance is also an air lock with an external door and internal door, once inside the external door a high pressure air stream is blown into the chamber and passed through a HEPA air filter for cleaning.
After the internal door there is an ante chamber set up for visitors and for the office with view of the nursery. Then through another door to the inner care centre where there is a hand wash and gargle station. see left. In the same photo is the bottle store and pump store.
Next to the bottles and handwash is the nursery, always in full view and can be visited anytime by the parents when you want to take the babies away for a feed or return them for a rest, its completely up to the parents.
Of course the nursery has midwives working on 3 shifts and will look after everything for you if you need. Had enough mustard filled nappies for one day, no worries just hand the babies back to the nurse!
The centre also has a beauty clinic, a hair dresser and an oriental medicine clinic. There are lots of events for the mothers each day including how to massage your baby, breast feeding tips, yoga etc. Lots of advice, I will cover the old wives tales in another blog.
