In a traditional hospital setting, one nurse takes care of the mother and a different nurse takes care of the baby - usually in the nursery. Having different nurses, especially when mother and baby are separated, can cause confusion by the caregivers, missed opportunities for the new mother, and inflexibility when it comes to the mother's particular needs and wants. With mother-baby care, the same nurse cares for both mother and baby in the comfort and convenience of the mother"s room.

Mother-Baby Care is not the same as "rooming-in" where the mother is expected to care for her baby when the infant is with her. Mother-baby nurses care for both mother and baby, promote bonding and ensure attachments within the new family. In fact, the mother-baby nurse cares for the whole family, including dad, other loved ones - whomever the new mother considers family. Mother-baby care is flexible, and tailored to meet the needs of the family - not a rigid hospital schedule.
