Your Baby Moon

Meeting Your Baby:

 

Bonding is one of the most sacred transitions between mother and baby.  Our team respects your time to bond and nurture the new baby in the family.  Each family is given the opportunity to spend time together without separation.  During the first few hours mom and baby are closely monitored for continued health and wellness, all infant assessments are done while mom or family holds the baby.  After you and your baby have nursed, we will do a full physical examination of your baby right on the bed next to you.

Pediatrician:

 

We do recommend a visit to your chosen pediatrician within 72 hours of the birth, which can be scheduled at your convenience. We will contact your pediatrician and share your records with them for continued care of your baby. Options for hearing screening and immunizations an be discussed and reviewed with your pediatrician.  Vitamin K and erythromycin eye ointment are available for your baby if you so choose.
