Your little bundle of joy receives only the best of care at Saint Francis Hospital. It's up to you how much time your baby spends in your room. Whether your baby spends most of his or her time beside you or in the nursery, it's great to know our caring and secure 30-bed newborn nursery is just steps away.
Your baby's medical care is directed by your pediatrician. Our nursery staff and other healthcare professionals are also on hand to answer any questions you may have. The staff can offer support and advice concerning special needs of a newborn, tips on how to bathe the baby, instructions on how to care for your baby's umbilical cord and other important information that will help you make the transition from hospital to home.
If you choose to breastfeed your baby, you needn't go far to find a breast pump. Breast pumps can be rented from the Breast Pump Station at The Children's Hospital at Saint Francis. Medela Lactina and Classic pumps are available. Pump In Style and Medla Mini-Electric breast pumps are available for sale in the Saint Francis Gift Shop. Lactation consultants are available at no charge from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday by calling (918) 494-6455.
Among the special services we offer our new families are the "Newborn Channel" which highlights issues in breast feeding, baby basics, safety concerns, dads and babies, post partum care and much more. Infant care classes are held daily which cover just about everything you need to know about caring for your baby. Lactation consultants are available to give new mothers plenty of tips on successful breast feeding. At Saint Francis we are committed to making your birthing experience everything you hoped it would be…and more!
