True Mother/Baby Couplet Care
True mother/baby couplet care means an infant is never separated from the mother from the time of delivery until discharge provided both are healthy. All newborn exams are done at the mother’s bedside, as is newborn care like bathing, shots, eye drops and hearing tests. This allows for mother and baby to bond.
Newborn Care
After delivery, all babies are seen by a pediatric nurse practitioner. Your newborn will continue to be evaluated by our pediatric nurse practitioner throughout your hospital stay. Our nurse practitioners have excellent relationships with private pediatricians and communicate with them daily about their patients.
