Mother & Newborn Care

The minute your baby is born is the first minute of the rest of your new life. It’s exciting, emotional, and often exhausting. In the hours and days following your delivery, you’ll need time to bond with your new baby, and you’ll also need rest. This is a private, personal time to be shared between you and your new family.

Women & Children's Hospital of Buffalo

Our private, spacious maternity rooms are designed with your comfort in mind.  Extra privacy and a homelike environment allow you to enjoy your baby with your family and friends.  Every room has a private bathroom for your convenience.  Your partner or significant other is encouraged to spend the night with you to help them get to know your baby and participate in the care of your newborn.

Our team of specialists includes a neonatal resuscitative provider (NRP) and many lactation consultants. All of our nurses are NRP certified and IBLC Lactation consultants are available seven days a week.  We also offer a fetal monitoring system that keeps an eye on the well-being of your baby, with information accessible throughout the OB area.

For more information please refer to our Maternity Guidebooks.
