Mother Baby Care Unit
Our Mother Baby Care Unit consists of mother/baby patient
rooms and a newborn nursery. It is located on the fourth floor.
Dedicated to the support and promotion of couplet bonding
and breastfeeding success, “rooming-in” is encouraged. This
is where mom and baby stay together during the hospital stay.
The newborn nursery area is used for newborn assessments
and continued observations for those newborns requiring
additional attention.
• 52 Private rooms
• Breastfeeding and discharge classes to help with any
questions you may have
• Each mom has the ability to visit with a Lactation
Consultant before being discharged
as well as screening and testing for expectant mothers without
complications. Our team of maternal fetal medicine specialists,
sonographers, genetic counselors and clinical nurses, is dedi-
cated to helping mothers deliver the healthiest baby possible.
In addition to this core team, the Fetal Diagnostic Center has a
dedicated team of consulting specialists to provide immediate
support as needed. These specialists assist with ongoing man-
agement throughout the patient’s pregnancy and following the
delivery of your baby. It is the only team of its kind in the state.
Breastfeeding
Breastfeeding is a nurturing experience for you and your baby.
It also is an important decision that we support. Nurses in the
Family BirthCenter and the Mother Baby Care Unit are trained
to assist mothers and babies with breastfeeding. The Hawai‘i
Mother’s Milk, Inc. (located in the Diamond Head Tower) also
is available for breastfeeding counseling or pump rental.
