Griffin offers 'The Newborn Channel' to help parents

DERBY -  The Newborn Channel is now available at The Childbirth Center at Griffin Hospital.
The Newborn Channel delivers essential newborn and parenting information to help prepare new moms when they need it most. 
New parents and their families can enjoy easy access to highly trusted, professionally endorsed content on infant and mom care, siblings and family living, work-life balance, and more. 
The Newborn Channel provides engaging and accessible programming on many topics, including:
• Diapering, bathing and other infant care;
• Mom health and recovery topics;
• Breastfeeding basics and tips for success;
• Safety topics like Car Seat Safety, Smoking Cessation, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome and more;
• Programs and transcripts from the Newborn Channel are also available for new parents on demand before, during and after their hospital stay.
The educational content on the Newborn Channel is overseen and reviewed by a Medical Advisory Board which works diligently to ensure all content is up-to-date and presented in a clear and understandable way for patients and their families.
“The Newborn Channel helps supplement our nurses’ patient education efforts. Because it is always available, our nursing and education staff is able to recommend quality, up-to-date education for new parents in their time of need,” said Luanne Miller, BSN, R.N., director of the Childbirth Center.

“The Newborn Channel's baby care and postpartum programming is available in over 1000 U.S. hospitals” said Dave Ross, COO of The Wellness Network. “Having a baby, especially the first time, can be a little scary for new parents. Our videos are meant to help demystify diapering, feeding, and caring for both mom and baby. Moms and Dads can view programs and talk to the hospital’s educators with their questions before they are back home on their own with their new baby.”

The Childbirth Center follows the patient-centered Planetree philosophy that focuses providing a warm, caring atmosphere for the patient and loved ones, including childbirth and child care education, and support groups.
