In some cases, an oxyhood is placed over the baby s head to provide extra oxygen. You may ask someone you know with a compatible blood type to donate blood for your baby. It will take five to seven days to prepare the donated blood for your baby s use. To learn more about directed donations, or to make a donor appointment, please call the hospital s blood bank at 444-2634. For their own safety, mothers may not donate blood until two months after delivery.
All babies thrive on the love and attention of their parents and families.
We encourage you to spend as much time as possible with your baby. For your convenience, a sink is located at the entrance to the unit. If you are visiting twins, please wash your hands before handling each one. Please check to see that you have your rings, watches or other valuables before you leave the sink. Special caution must be taken during the winter months.
