Mother Baby Unit (MBU)

 

After your delivery, you and your baby will be moved to your own private family suite on the Mother/Baby Unit. We encourage healthy mothers and babies to enjoy the benefits of staying together, and provide this opportunity as much as you desire. You have the choice to stay together at all times, or send your baby to the holding nursery whenever you want a break.  Keeping moms and babies together is especially beneficial for breastfeeding mothers, because they are able to learn more about their baby’s feeding signals.  Having the baby next to your bedside also allows you to respond promptly to your baby’s feeding needs and increases your chances of successful breastfeeding.              

 

Your Mother/Baby experience includes:

• Comfortable, beautiful suites that include a place for your birth partner to stay overnight
• A nutrition center available 24/7 to provide snacks for you and your family
• A holding nursery is always available to moms who need time for rest and relaxation
• Personalized education for the care of you and your baby
• A “Stork Meal” for new parents before they go home
• Cable TV and DVD players in every room
• A Jacuzzi for therapeutic care
• High speed Internet access so you can plug in your laptop to communicate with family
• Breastfeeding support with our Certified Lactation Consultants and specially trained nurses
• A Halo swaddle blanket, made especially for safe sleeping, is given to each baby 
• Extra security for you and your baby
