Mother Baby Unit
On our Mother Baby (postpartum) unit, Beaumont supports and encourages rooming in, which means keeping mom, baby and family together during your hospital stay. Being together with your newborn is the best way to create and strengthen the mother/baby/family
bond. Spending as much time together as possible will help you to get to know your new baby, learn how to care for them and enable you to provide the soothing comfort they need. Rooming-in enhances bonding and the ability to breastfeed. During your
stay on the Mother/Baby unit, a nurse will be assigned to provide care for both you and your newborn. They will be happy to provide answers to your questions, offer instructions on feeding, bathing and help you get acquainted with the new addition
to your family.
And once you’re home, you are welcome to call one of our nurses anytime during those first few weeks to ask important questions. All mothers will receive a follow-up call a couple of days after your return home.
