Becoming a parent is one of those big, beautiful “how is this my life?” seasons. It’s magical and emotional… and sometimes a little overwhelming. Between sleepless nights, feeding schedules, and that tiny hat that keeps falling over baby’s eyes, you’re also trying to keep track of check-ups, immunisations, and growth milestones.
As a newborn and family photographer in Pretoria, I meet so many new parents right in the middle of that season. In the studio we chat about everything from nappies to night feeds — and so often, the question comes up:
Which 7 Newborn Baby Clinics in Pretoria in Pretoria is right for you?
To make your research a little easier, I’ve put together a list of 7 newborn baby clinics in Pretoria that local parents often consider when planning their baby’s wellness visits.
Quick disclaimer (because this is important)
I’m not a doctor, and this blog is not medical advice. Information, staff and reviews can change over time. I’ve checked public listings and online feedback where possible, but I always recommend that you:
- Double-check details directly with the clinic
- Read the latest reviews
- Trust your gut after visiting in person
Think of this post as a starting point to help you discover options around Pretoria, not a guarantee that any one place will be perfect for every family.

1. Pregnancy & Baby Wellness Clinic – Soli Deo Gloria Bella
? Erasmuskloof & Muckleneuk branches (Mediclinic Kloof & Zuid-Afrikaans) Mediclinic+1
Run by Sr Adéle de Beer, this clinic has a very “from bump to baby” feel. She’s a nurse and midwife with decades of experience in maternal and child health, and offers antenatal classes, postnatal support, breastfeeding help, and baby immunisations. Medpages+1
Their own platforms and testimonials talk about warm, personalised care and many parents praise the way she explains things and supports them through pregnancy and the newborn phase. Expectant Mothers Guide
If you’d like one person walking with you from pregnancy into baby’s first months, this is a lovely option to explore.
2. Pretoria North Medical Centre – Baby Clinic
?259 Burger Street, Pretoria North Mediclinic
Pretoria North Medical Centre is a multi-disciplinary practice with a dedicated baby clinic run by paediatricians Dr K. Mataboge and Dr D.J. Seefane on specific days (often Tuesdays and Thursdays). They handle immunisations, growth monitoring, and paediatric consultations in one place. Bloomsy+1
Online reviews for the centre are typical for a busy medical practice — not perfect, not a disaster, just a mix. Dis-Chem
If you prefer a more medical-centre set-up with paediatricians on site, this could be a practical choice, especially if you’re already in the Pretoria North area.
3. This Is Us Mother & Baby Wellness Practice (Les Marais)
? 354 Fred Nicholson Street, Les Marais, Pretoria Holistic Life
This Is Us is a mother-and-baby wellness practice run by Sr Anke and Sr Nisanne, focusing on antenatal care, postnatal support, breastfeeding, and baby wellness checks. Their messaging and services revolve around supporting families through the first 1,000 days. Holistic Life
Here, the online feedback is honestly beautiful. Their testimonials and Facebook reviews talk about feeling supported, reassured, and never rushed — with some moms saying the team made their first pregnancy “so much easier”. dischem.recomed.co.za+1
If you’re looking for somewhere gentle and personalised, this is one of the strongest recommendations on the list.
4. Kidimed Associate Paediatric Practice (Netcare Pretoria East)
?Netcare Pretoria East Hospital, Pretoria East Facebook
Kidimed is a paediatric practice based at Netcare Pretoria East, with three paediatricians (Dr Johnny Lotter, Dr Heinrich du Toit and Dr Liesl Venter) and a strong focus on child-friendly, family-oriented care. They do newborn follow-ups, baby check-ups, vaccinations and general paediatrics. Facebook
Their online reputation is excellent — a Facebook snippet lists a 100% “recommend” rating from multiple reviews. our-village.co.za+1
If you want a baby clinic inside a hospital with a full paediatric team and a very positive track record, Kidimed is a great place to start.
5. Sister Elsie’s Baby Clinic (Waverley)
?Waverley, Pretoria (in the neighbourhood behind my studio)
This one is a little more personal. Sr Elsie runs an independent, nurse-led baby clinic right here in Waverley. Her clinic offers baby weighing, immunisations and general wellness checks in a cosy, neighbourhood setting.
Local moms in community groups describe her as “puik!” (excellent) and happily report taking twins and little ones to her. Dis-Chem
Her online footprint is smaller than bigger practices, but word-of-mouth in the area is very positive, and I’ve had lovely interactions with her too.
6. Netcare Montana Hospital – Mother & Baby Wellness / Baby Clinic
?Netcare Montana Hospital, Cnr Dr Swanepoel & Rooibos Road, Montanapark Dis-Chem
Netcare Montana is a large private hospital that’s frequently recommended as a good place to give birth, with a dedicated mother and baby wellness clinic plus maternity, paediatric and neonatal services. LekkeSlaap+1
Because it’s a full hospital, general reviews are naturally mixed, but it’s widely recognised as a solid choice for maternity and newborn care. If you feel safer with a hospital-linked baby clinic in the northern/eastern part of Pretoria, it’s worth a look.

How to choose the right baby clinic for your family
A few things to keep in mind as you explore your options:
- Location, location, location
Those early weeks are tiring. Shorter drives = less stress for you and baby. - Type of support you want
Do you just want quick immunisations and weighs, or do you want antenatal classes, breastfeeding help, and more in-depth conversations? - Personality & atmosphere
Some parents love a big hospital setting, others prefer a smaller, homey practice with one familiar sister. Neither is wrong — it’s about what makes you feel calm. - Check the latest reviews
Google, Facebook groups and word-of-mouth from friends in Pretoria can be gold. Staff changes happen, so it’s worth double-checking recent experiences. - Trust your instincts
If you walk in, and something feels off, it’s okay to try a different clinic. You’re allowed to choose what feels right for you and your baby.
