Bonding with Your Baby
During your stay, we support non-separation of baby from mother, skin-to-skin contact, and breastfeeding, which promotes bonding and can help your baby cry less, soothe more quickly, and sleep better. It can even establish a more stable heartbeat and breathing patterns.
If you choose to breastfeed, our nursing staff and lactation consultants are available to help. If you need additional assistance once you’re home, outpatient lactation appointments and breastfeeding classes are also available. If you are considering a breast pump, contact your insurance company prior to delivery to see if you have coverage.
