While your baby is in the hospitalCaring for your babyKeep your baby with you in your room as much as possible. All of your baby's care can be provided in your room, and you can participate as much as you wish.
Your baby's securityYour baby's identification and your name will be printed on your baby's ankle and/or wrist bracelets. The same information will be on your bracelet and on your partner's. Each time your baby is brought to you, her identification bracelet will be checked and compared with your own. In addition, the hospital staff will have name badges identifying them as employees of the hospital. Baby picturesMost hospitals offer a photography service so color pictures can be taken of your baby before you go home. Ask for information about this service, including prices and instructions for ordering. Let the staff know if you have a special outfit for your baby to wear for pictures.
