Level I Neonatal Services
Bravera Health Spring Hill offers Level I neonatal services for critically ill or premature infants, close to home. Neonatal care at Bravera Baby Place is provided by neonatologists and specially trained nurses. Services are for babies that need a little extra support and access to clinical resources for a higher level of care. If your baby is born prematurely, or has a condition that requires extra care, count on the team at Bravera Baby Place.
Skin-to-Skin with Babies
Nurses and OB/GYNs at Bravera Baby Place encourage family members to visit and participate in the care of their baby. Not only does this help strengthen the bond between parents and child, but it can also improve the baby’s overall health.
We understand the importance of soothing skin-to-skin contact between babies and their parents; skin-to-skin contact promotes healing, comfort and creates a bond. Also sometimes referred to as “Kangaroo Care,” skin-to-skin is important for all babies.
Benefits of skin-to-skin with premature babies can include:
- Allowing the baby to feel safe when he or she hears mom’s familiar heart beat
- Stabilizing temperature, blood sugar, and breathing.
- Promoting breastfeeding
- Dads can do skin-to-skin care too!
