Questions
Parents often ask
Can I stay with my baby in the special care unit
Yes. There are reclining chairs at every incubator and a rest room for parents along the corridor.
Do you help with breastfeeding
Yes, every day, with feeding nurses who come to you. Bottle feeding is supported just as warmly.
My baby looks yellow. Should I come in
Some yellowness is common in the first week, but please have it checked the same day, especially if your baby is sleepy or not feeding well.
