What You’ll Need to Bring
To add to the cozy, home-like atmosphere you want, we encourage you to bring any items that will make your stay more comfortable.  The following are a few suggestions:

  • Personal Items: Your favorite pillow, shampoo, soap, cosmetics, curling iron, blow dryer, toothpaste and toothbrush.
  • Baby Clothes: An outfit for baby’s first picture and clothes for the baby to wear home along with a baby blanket.
  • Extra Clothes: Include a bathrobe and slippers, or your favorite nightgown.

Caring For Your Baby
Those first few hours with your newborn are a precious time. We want you to have as much quality time with your new baby as you would like, as well as plenty of time to rest. Your baby can be in your room as much as you desire, or in the loving arms of our nursing staff.

Breastfeeding
BirthPlace provides the support you need to make breastfeeding a joyous and rewarding experience. Our nurses provide personal counseling and instruction while you are in the hospital, and our certified lactation consultant provides follow-up counseling after you and your baby go home.

A free individual consultation can be scheduled at our BirthPlace Consultation Office by calling 509-336-7636, or by calling the BirthPlace at 509-336-7401 for urgent problems.
