After delivering your baby, you will be moved from Labor and Delivery into our Postpartum Unit where you will spend your time until discharge. As soon as your physician allows, you will be able to order food from our room service menu and get much needed rest. Nurses will bring your baby from the nursery to be with you in your room and then return to the nursery when you need to rest.
If you have other children, you may elect to have a sibling cake delivered to your postpartum room to help brothers and sisters celebrate the arrival of your new family member. This is also a time to learn about your baby; how to dress, bathe and feed your infant. If you are breastfeeding, you will meet with our lactation consultants to learn about and become comfortable with nursing. Lactation consultants are available by phone to answer any questions you may have after you have been discharged from the hospital.
Our nurses, education department and patient advocates are here to answer your questions and help you transition from hospital to home.
