Labor and Delivery Information

Baby Identification and Infant Security

Security of the baby and the mother is our primary concern on all our Maternity units. Identification bracelets are applied to the baby, mom and the partner at the time of delivery; before the baby leaves the delivery room. These bracelets have the same corresponding numbers.  Babies cannot be taken out of the nursery by the parents until the bracelets are checked.  Footprints of the baby, plus a finger print of the mom are taken immediately after birth.  In addition to internal security policies, a state-of-art, computerized security system is in place for all infants while here at Saint Barnabas Medical Center.  Father/significant other should not remove their ID bracelet until baby is discharged.
