Postpartum Care

Postpartum Care

An hour or two after birth, fathers give their babies a Leboyer bath. This is not meant to clean the baby, but to allow the baby and father time to bond. In this bath, the infant feels the warmth and comfort previously found in the mother’s uterus.

  • Circumcision

    If you choose to circumcise, the nurse-midwife can perform the procedure in an extended 10-day visit. Fathers stay with their babies while mothers wait in the park. A local anesthetic and Sweet-Ease® are used to make the baby comfortable.

    • Psycho-social support
    • Exercise education
    • Evaluation of your baby’s well-being
    • Review of transferred records (if applicable)
  • Footprints

    At the 10-day visit, your baby’s footprints will be added to our “walls of fame,” where 2,500 babies have made their marks on the birth center.
