Private Family Birth Center Suites
A private family birthing center suite is a suite that is designed and equipped to provide a woman a safe and comfortable place to deliver her baby. In most hospitals, this room also serves as a recovery suite, where a woman can rest and recover for the first few hours after delivery.

Baby-Friendly Designation
Baby-friendly means that a maternity facility has successfully implemented the ten steps to successful breastfeeding, which include providing appropriate education to enable families to make informed decisions about infant feeding, encouraging mothers to hold their babies skin-to-skin immediately following birth, and offering expert lactation support throughout and beyond the hospital stay.

Lactation Support Center
Laceration support is provided by doctors who specialize in the treatment of laceration wounds. They clean and prepare the wound and use steri-strips, dermabond, staples, or stitches to close the wound and promote healing.
