Congratulations on the birth of your baby! 

While you are in the hospital take advantage of our parent education. 

We recommend that you keep baby with you; this is called rooming in, as much as possible, so as you care for your new baby, any questions can be answered. Your comfort and confidence in caring for your new baby will grow with time.  Especially if you are breastfeeding, keeping baby with you all day and night is recommend so you learn the baby's feeding cues and breastfeed often. Plan to attend the Baby Care and Breastfeeding class that will be offered at 10:00AM. The Lactation Consultant/Patient Educator will be around each morning to help you, tell you about the classes and answer any questions.
