Here at Hong Kong Adventist Hospital – Stubbs Road, we understand that parents-to-be desire a safe, comfortable environment where they may welcome their child into the world without hesitation or worry. Our obstetric team comprises professional and attentive doctors and nursing staff who are committed to walking alongside new parents during this important life stage.
- Fathers in the delivery room: unless there is an emergency situation, we encourage fathers to remain in the delivery or operating room to support their spouse/partner
- Cutting the umbilical cord: we encourage fathers to cut the baby’s umbilical cord; our healthcare staff are happy to help capture this special moment
- Skin-to-skin contact: both parents may engage in skin-to-skin contact to promote successful breastfeeding
Rooming-in: mothers may choose to either have their babies in their room with them to facilitate bonding and breastfeeding, or have their babies taken care of by experienced nursing staff in the nursery
- Wireless fetal monitoring: heart rate of the fetus is monitored to ensure the safety of the baby
- Delayed first bath and infection control: delaying a newborn’s first bath helps stabilize body temperature and promotes successful breastfeeding; our hospital uses disposable bathing products to minimize the risk of cross infection
Personalized breastfeeding instruction: our healthcare staff offer one-on-one bedside breastfeeding guidance and instruction
- Kangaroo care: this technique helps stabilize the heart rate, improve oxygen saturation levels, extend sleep time, and promote weight gain in premature and underweight babies
