Mother and Baby Shared Care

Once your baby is finally here, you’ll want to remain close. “Rooming in” gives you a great opportunity for bonding and allows our specialized team of mother-baby nurses to educate, answer questions, provide support, and make sure you’re both doing well.

Precious Moments Quiet Time

Quiet time is offered each day from 1 p.m. - 3 p.m. and 1 a.m. - 3 a.m., as well as the first 30 minutes following birth. Quiet time is intended to:

Offer an extended period of rest
Decrease postpartum sleep deprivation
Facilitate bonding between mom and baby and dad and baby
Allow moms to breastfeed without interruption
Help families transition from hospital schedule to home schedule

During quiet time, visitors will not be allowed unless medically necessary or invited by mom.
