Our work in the crucial first 4 weeks (or 28 days) of life can significantly improve future outcomes. Petal is equipped for babies until they are mobile - or until they are twelve months old.
Depending on the circumstances of baby, mother and whānau, our aim is to reduce early trauma to baby and transition them compassionately, giving them the best start in life.
Petal provides baby care in a residential home in Auckland and referrals are invited throughout Auckland. Our Petal home for babies is confidential to ensure the safety of both babies and staff and we arrange the agreed pick-up and drop-off of babies with referral agencies and whānau.
