Peace of Mind

If a baby wearing the device is moved to an exit, an alarm is triggered. Other security protocols include matching ID bands for baby and parents as well as special pink ID badges for nurses on our unit.

Special Delivery to Your Home!
Most mothers stay 1-2 days after an uncomplicated vaginal delivery and 2-4 days after a cesarean delivery. Before going home you will complete paperwork and have the opportunity to ask for any additional educational materials for you and baby. Your doctor as well as your baby's pediatrician will write orders for your release. Don’t forget to bring loose-fitting clothes for yourself and pre-washed clothes for your baby to wear home. Most importantly, be sure to have a safe car seat ready and properly buckled in your car. A volunteer or staff member will escort you to your car. Congratulations!
