As the area's only Baby-Friendly Hospital, OSF St. Joseph is dedicated to partnering with families, offering the confidence and skills necessary to successfully incorporate breastfeeding or feeding formula safely into their busy lifestyle.
OSF St. Joseph is recognized by the National Safe Sleep Hospital Certification Program as a Gold Safe Sleep Champion, the highest designation available, for their commitment to best practices and education on infant safe sleep.
Our free OB Nurse Navigator Program is the only one in Bloomington-Normal. It delivers a unique level of care and attention beginning at 20 weeks of pregnancy – or at whatever point you need the support – to well after you’ve gone home.
The nurse navigator acts as a personal guide and helps expectant moms feel confident and comfortable before the big day arrives.
We offer a variety of in-person classes to help you and your whole family prepare for your little one's arrival, including Baby Basics, Labor Crash Course, Breastfeeding 1 and Breastfeeding 2.
Patients can receive the same state-of-the-art care from OSF Children’s Hospital doctors they’ve come to trust, closer to home with our outpatient clinics in Bloomington. Our outpatient clinics feature cardiology, surgery, urology, gastroenterology and maternal fetal medicine.
Choosing to breastfeed can be one of the most important decisions a mother makes to protect their baby's health and well-being. We offer early education, breastfeeding classes and in-person assistance. We also offer information on breast pump basics like how they work and where to get one through private insurance, rentals or public aid.
