Breastfeeding Support
Our staff of registered nurses is here to help you establish successful breastfeeding. Our team also consists of certified lactation consultants and lactation counselors should you need additional help. We will provide you with a list of resources
in the community that are available for lactation support after your delivery.
Quiet Hour
Beautiful Beginnings has established a quiet time on the unit from 1:30 pm-3:00 pm every day to allow time for much needed rest and privacy for both you and your baby. It will be your choice to have visitors during this time. The staff will only interrupt
you to provide essential patient care.
Transitioning Home
At MetroWest Medical Center, we strive to help patients and families develop the skills and knowledge to help you and your newborn transition home seamlessly. We will work with you and your family to answer all of your questions and make sure that
you have the resources and information that you need once you leave the hospital.
Pediatric Care
Should your baby or child need pediatric care in the future, MetroWest Medical Center offers a wide range of pediatric health care services for children from birth through 21 years of age in a kid-friendly, family-centered environment. Our
experienced pediatric specialists work together to get your child back to health as soon as possible. We partner with Floating Hospital for Children at Tufts Medical Center in order to bring advanced care to our Pediatric Specialty Center in Framingham.
Specialists ranging from pediatric neurologists and gastroenterologists to pediatric oncologists and allergists are available to see your child for outpatient appointments.
Preparing for Your Delivery: Tours and More
Our team is here to help you get ready for the birth of your baby. We encourage you to take a tour of our wonderful birth center and preregister for your delivery.
Tours of the birth center are offered on the last Wednesday of every month, at 6:30 p.m. Expectant mothers and their families are welcome. Please meet us in the hospital lobby.
Pre-register for Your Delivery
Sharing information prior to your delivery will help us provide a smooth and efficient admission process. Please request a copy of our pre-registration form from your obstetrician. We look forward to meeting you!
