Couplet Care
Couplet Care at Saint Mary’s: Together from the Start
At Saint Mary’s, we believe the best beginning for a new life is one shared closely with the people who matter most. That’s why we’ve introduced Couplet Care—a modern, family-centered approach to postpartum care that keeps mothers and newborns together in the same room throughout their hospital stay.
What Is Couplet Care?
Couplet Care is a model of postpartum care where one nurse cares for both mother and baby in the same room. This approach supports bonding, breastfeeding and a smoother transition to life at home. It’s designed to promote comfort, confidence and connection during one of life’s most meaningful moments.
Why It Matters
Research shows that keeping mothers and babies together improves outcomes for both. Couplet Care encourages:
- Stronger emotional bonding
- Improved breastfeeding success
- Reduced stress and anxiety
- Better sleep and recovery
- More personalized care
