Indulge in a Celebratory Steak Dinner
To honor the arrival of your little one, we offer a special steak dinner for two the evening before you are discharged. This complimentary meal from our dedicated dining staff provides a moment for new parents to celebrate together in the comfort of our care.
Dedicated “Mommy Time” for Rest and Bonding
Understanding the importance of rest and uninterrupted bonding, we have instituted “Mommy Time” every day from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. During this period, staff and visitors will respectfully ensure your privacy, allowing you to relax, recover, and connect with your new baby in peace.
Comprehensive Breastfeeding Support Program
Flowers Hospital is committed to supporting your breastfeeding journey. Our certified lactation counselors are readily available throughout your hospital stay to provide personalized guidance and assistance. We offer comprehensive education and practical support to help you and your baby establish successful breastfeeding, and continued resources are available even after you return home.
To further enhance your experience, we are delighted to provide these special bonuses:
- A complimentary birth certificate, complete with your baby’s adorable footprints, creating a cherished keepsake.
- A thoughtful Mother’s gift pack filled with samples of premium baby products to assist you in caring for your newborn.
- Valuable information books and educational packets covering various aspects of newborn care and postpartum health.
- Complimentary formula samples or a breastfeeding support pack, tailored to your feeding choices.
The Power of Skin-to-Skin Contact
Recognizing the profound benefits of immediate bonding, Flowers Hospital strongly encourages uninterrupted skin-to-skin contact directly after birth, for both vaginal and cesarean deliveries. These initial moments after birth are critical for regulating your baby’s temperature, heart rate, and blood sugar, as well as fostering a deep connection between parents and their newborn. While prioritizing safety, we facilitate skin-to-skin contact whenever medically stable for both mother and baby.
Family-Centered Cesarean Sections with Clear Drapes
For mothers undergoing cesarean births, Flowers Hospital offers the option of clear drapes. This family-centered approach allows mothers and their partners to witness the incredible moment of their baby’s birth, creating a more inclusive and emotionally fulfilling experience.
