Here are some tips. Before Birth Before delivering, take a hospital a tour or attend orientation so that you are familiar with the hospital and appearance of the staff. Before birth, take the time to inquire about nursery routines as well as security procedures. If you wait until you're in labor to become acquainted with these details, you may find it difficult to be very attentive to the finer points. If you cannot keep your baby with you at all times, double-check these numbers to ensure they are the same.
Some hospitals take photographs of the baby shortly after birth.
When baby isn't in your arms Never leave your baby unattended and alone if your room for even a minute. While in your room, it is preferable to keep your baby on the far side of your bed, away from the door. When you have a lot of visitors, you may get distracted. If anyone unfamiliar enters your room or asks about your baby, feel free to question them and satisfy yourself that they're on the hospital staff. Before Leaving The hospital staff should check your matching ID bands before you are discharged, but take it upon yourself to again check your baby's ID bands for yourself.
