Section Menu
We welcome loved ones who would like to visit new mothers and babies. However, we do have policies in place that are designed to promote the good health and well-being of our patients. Please make sure your loved ones review these policies before they visit.
Directions and parking
Partners of new mothers are welcome to stay with them in the hospital 24 hours a day. The following rules apply to all other visitors:
Babies stay in their mother’s room if their delivery is uncomplicated and the newborn is stable during the immediate recovery period after birth. Family members should not visit until at least two hours after the baby is born. New parents need time to rest and learn to care for their new baby. We suggest that only close family members visit for limited periods. Please ask your visitors to wash their hands before holding your baby.
Our maternity unit has a break in visiting hours called Quiet Time. These quiet hours are seven days a week from 2 to 4 p.m. Please ask tell your visitors to visitcome before or after this period. The only interruptions at the bedside during these hours are for essential patient care.
Quiet Time gives you the rest and privacy you need and deserve during your hospital stay. In addition, Quiet Time helps you get more bonding time with your child and allow you to become familiar with your baby’s feeding cues.
We’ll place birth identification bands on you and your baby immediately after birth. These are used to keep your baby safe and secure in the hospital. Never leave your baby unattended, and never let anyone take your newborn away from your room unless they’re wearing a hospital ID.
