Health Canada for a pilot project to provide’ “babies ta come back to the Best For Baby

more support ‘to parents with new babies.

The project, called Best for Baby, is a
parinership between Mills Memorial Hospi-
tal and North West Health Unit and will be
run out of the hospital.

Several years ago, the average hospital
Slay after the birth of a baby was four to
five days. This allowed families the time to
become comfortable caring for their new
baby and to have breastfeeding established
prior to going home.

Across the country, hospital stays after a

Best for Baby nurse. At that time arrange-
ments will be made for new mothers and

the hospital. -

Many familic ies will find this convenient as
they offen are coming back to hospital for
baby weights, cord clamp removal, or
blood tests,

Families preferring to have a home visit
instead of coming back tot he Best for Baby
Centre, will be able to do so.

Whether the visit takes place al the Best
for Baby Centre or at a family’s home, the
nurse will carry out a physical assessment
