Following the birth of the baby and a recovery, bonding period, new mothers and their support person will be transferred to another private room with their baby for the rest of their hospital stay. These cozy, sunlit rooms are equipped with guest pull-out beds, televisions, refrigerators and private bathroom. Mothers are encouraged to room in with their babies to promote feeding and bonding, with respite care available in the nursery when needed.

During this special time, various staff members will be available to assist you. Our trained postpartum nurses, as well as certified Lactation Consultants, are available to assist with breastfeeding needs. A perinatal data coordinator will visit new parents to record the newborn's information and register the birth with the County of Marin, initiating the Birth Certificate process. The Marin General Audiology department oversees our program for performing hearing screens on all our babies before discharge. The Marin General Health and Hearing department’s massage therapists are available for mom’s comfort and relaxation if needed.

Throughout your stay with us, our specially trained staff provide ongoing education to ensure each new family has the information and access to resources they may need as they begin their new lives together.
