Neonatal Services

GBMC is fully committed to a family-centered approach to newborn care. Following delivery every baby of 36-weeks or more who is without complications will remain with the mother. Help with the baby's first feedings, whether it be breast or bottle, begins in the Labor-Delivery Room (LDR). Parents then decide how long the baby will stay with them, and when (and if) the baby returns to the Nursery. Twenty-four hour rooming-in is available, but the baby may return to the Nursery whenever the parents wish.
