Maternal Child creates a warm, family-oriented environment for expecting
parents and their families.
Located above the Main Lobby on the east end of the hospital, the unit
has three exam rooms, one minor procedure room, and eight Labor/Delivery/Recovery/Postpartum
rooms (called LDRPs). The department provides care and services to low-risk
patients as well as high-risk (level two) patients. Our OB unit also features
a C-Section operating room, a six-bed Level II NICU Nursery, and three
dedicated Postpartum rooms.
The Level II NICU Nursery cares for premature newborns needing more intensive
care. A caring and experienced nursing staff is here to support each patient
through the birthing process and post-partum care, including breastfeeding
and bottle feeding.

Breastfeeding 101
Did you know:
Babies eat 10 to 12 times in a 24-hour period
Babies' tummies are only the size of a cherry (5 to 7 ml) when they are
born. By day two, tummies have stretched to 3x (15 to 17 ml) that size.
By day three, they can be as big as their fist or about the size of a
shot glass (30 ml).
How can you tell if your baby is getting enough to eat? WATCH their fist/hands. When a baby is hungry, their hands are balled up
in a fist. As they get full, their fists relax. If a baby detaches and
falls asleep, hands relaxed, they are done. If one hand is in a fist,
place them skin to skin as they will wake up within half an hour and will
want to nurse from the other side.
If it hurts when your baby is nursing, and/or popping on and off, getting
mad, OR falling asleep but not really nursing, it may be a shallow latch.
Babies need a mouthful, and sometimes you have to hold your breast so
they get a good latch and wait for them to figure it out. It can take
a few tries to get going. A good job for dads is to help guide their baby
and compress the breast so that they can get their mouth around it.
What is the best way to wake a baby to eat? Place your baby skin to skin. One way is to have your baby in a diaper
and place it between the breasts inside of your clothing. Your baby should
wake within a half hour and start wanting to eat.
The first few days are busy times for mothers and their babies. Just rest
when you can and nurse your baby when they want to nurse. This will bring
your milk in sooner and will insure you make what your baby needs. Cluster
nursing is normal and will happen from time to time as your baby grows,
too. Just keep swimming. It does get easier.
