Nothing is more important than your baby bonding to you and the family. Our philosophy of non-separation and caring for the mother and baby together is to help you feel ready to take your infant home.

Our staff will work with you while you learn to feed, diaper, bathe and care for your newborn.

There are 6 labor/delivery rooms designed for the comfort and safety of mother and baby, and twelve post partum rooms for mother and baby to recover in until discharge.

Two operating rooms are reserved exclusively for birth mothers in case the need arises.

Cheyenne’s Birthplace Visiting Hours:
(Cheyenne Regional Medical Center’s Obstetric Nursing Unit)
Fathers, or significant others, may visit anytime. From 11:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., visiting is welcomed for grandparents and brothers and sisters of the new baby. Extended family and friends are welcome 5:30 p.m.-8:30 p.m. No children, other than siblings, under age 14.

We encourage fathers or significant others to come into the birthing rooms and be a part of a family centered experience during delivery. A waiting room is available on the unit for family members of maternity and nursery patients when not visiting in their rooms. After delivery, siblings of the baby, the father and grandparents may visit the mother in the birthing room.

The new baby can meet all of the family and friends in the mother's room. To reduce the risk of infection, we ask that everyone in the family wash their hands before holding the baby. Mothers are encouraged to keep their babies in the hospital room as much as they like.

Special Care Nursery:
CRMC encourages parents to visit with their baby as much as possible throughout his or her stay in the special care nursery. Guidelines exist for the safety and healthy development of all infant’s in the nursery. Guidelines also exist to ensure infection control and preserve patient confidentiality. Cheyenne Regional Medical Center identifies family oriented care as necessary in the healing process of a newborn and, when available, will provide a boarding room to the parents for their infant’s stay.

Pediatrics:
Parents or significant others are welcome to visit any time. We encourage one parent to stay overnight with their child. Siblings may visit for 30-minute periods only, and must remain under the supervision of an adult family member. Other visitors are welcome 11:30 a.m.-8:30 p.m.

For their own safety, children under 12 years are not permitted to visit pediatric isolation patients. The number of visitors in isolation rooms will be restricted. Children placed in isolation need to remain in their rooms. Parents are discouraged from visiting other patient's rooms to prevent spread of infection.
