TRANSCRIPT
Family-Centered Care
Rooming InAllows mothers and
their babies to remain together 24 hours a day. • Allows for more skin-to-skin time • Stress levels
decrease; babies cry less • Supports easier transition to breastfeeding
• Mom bonds more readily with baby; learns
baby’s cues
Breastfeeding Support
Personalized lactation services available starting
immediately after birth, during hospital stay and after
discharge home.
Baby’s First Bath (baby will be bathed
between 12 and 24 hours after birth)
Helps baby keep warm • Babies typically start breastfeeding earlier • Steadies body
temperature and sugar levels of baby • Preserves natural moisture of baby’s
skin and decreases infection
Family-Centered Cesarean Section
Involve a partner to be present for the birth • Often starting skin-to-skin and breastfeeding
before the cesarean is complete
Skin-to-Skin Contact
Immediately after birth baby is dried off and placed directly
on mother’s bare skin • The first hours of skin-to-skin allows for better
bonding between mom and baby • Babies stay warmer, calmer
and breastfeed more easily
