Newborn Nurseries
Staffed with nurses and specialists, our newborn nursery offers the highest quality healthcare for your baby. After your infant is born, he/she is taken to the transitional nursery where we assessments and evaluations are performed. Once your baby is ready, he/she is transferred to one of our four pods within the nursery, which is staffed with specialized nurses whose primary job is to care for your infant. From the very beginning, you are encouraged to spend as much time as you’d like with your new baby. Your nurse will bring your baby to your room and help you care for and learn about your newborn. When you need to rest, your nurse will return your baby to his/her nursery where he/she will be cared for until you are ready to visit again.
Our newborn nursery nurses are also teachers and can answer, or find the answer to any of your questions. It is during this time you can have your car seat tested to make sure it is the proper size and fit for your new baby. We will also teach you how to properly install the car seat in your vehicle.
The Woman’s Hospital can help you arrange to have your baby’s picture taken and added to our website so you can share your new arrival with friends and family.
Our Education Department is available to answer any of your questions regarding breastfeeding or bottle feeding and we have lactation specialists available to help as well. Many classes and support groups geared toward new parents are also offered right here in at Woman’s Hospital.
