Mother-Baby Bonding Rooms
After delivery, your new family will move to one of our “mother & baby rooms” where you can get to know your baby. If you deliver via cesarean, you will “recover” in your room to bond with your baby.
We’ll be there, too, to answer questions and offer tips on newborn care, like how to bathe or swaddle your baby. Certified lactation consultants are available to help you and your little one establish a good foundation for breastfeeding. Most moms choose to have their baby in their room throughout their visit. That way, your baby is always close by.
Your recovery room is designed for comfort with:
- Wi-Fi to connect you to family and friends
- Cable TV and DVD player
- Multi-jet showers
- Light snacks and room service
