Breastfeeding & Couplet Care Program
Breastfeeding significantly reduces children's risk for acute infections
and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Breastfeeding also decreases
chronic infant diseases such as diabetes, asthma, and obesity.
Breastfed children have fewer visits to the doctor's office, decreased
days of hospitalization, and take fewer medications than children who
are formula-fed. Hospital support practices allow mothers to become more
confident and successful in their breastfeeding.
The hospital will minimize maternal-infant separation in accordance with
the American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines. Mom and baby are cared
for together. Baby stays with mom in the room, even during the night.
Social Services
Social workers are on-site daily for families with special needs. Families
receive referrals for whatever type of services are required— monitors,
special formulas, all medical follow-up, etc. We can also refer to CA
Children Services, grief counseling, and assistance for teen pregnancies.
