When it’s time to take your new baby home, many parents feel anxious about their ability to handle the responsibility, and that’s completely normal.  We’ll be there to support you all the way.  Your mother/baby nurse will review with you two special books written by the staff of NewLife Maternity entitled, “Caring for Yourself” and "Caring for Your Baby."  These books are full of information, helpful tips and additional resources.

Hello, this is “Warm Line”

Once you’re at home, you may still have questions.  Just call our Warm Line at (630)208-4070, and we’ll put you in touch with a registered nurse, anytime of the day or night, to get you the answers you need.

See You At Home

NewLife Maternity offers all first-time moms a complimentary home visit by one of our nurses within the first three days after discharge from the hospital.  The nurse will assess you and your baby, check your baby’s vital signs and physical growth, assess any feeding difficulties, and answer any questions you may have.

Dinner on Delnor

The last thing a new mom wants to worry about when she returns home is meal preparation.  So Delnor has partnered with Dinner by Design to offer new parents a gourmet meal for two.  You will receive a certificate that is redeemable at the St. Charles (Route 64/Main Street) Dinner by Design location.  All you have to do is stop at the shop, pick out your entree and side dishes and pop them in the oven or microwave.  It's that easy!

Breastfeeding Support

The services offered by our certified lactation consultants don’t stop once you leave the hospital.  NewLife’s Breastfeeding Resource Center services are available to all moms whether they delivered their baby at Delnor or elsewhere.  A physician order is required to meet with the lactation consultants.  To schedule an appointment, call (630)208-4068.

For additional support, you are invited to attend the Breastfeeding Mothers Support Group .  This group meets every Monday (except holidays) from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m. in the NewLife Maternity Center.  You are welcome to bring your baby along.  No registration is required.
