Tours
Renown Regional is the choice for three out of five babies born in the Truckee Meadows. Tours of the private birthing rooms and the Baby & Family Suites are available so you know what to expect before you big day. Call 775-853-BABY to schedule a tour.

Breastfeeding
Renown offers board-certified lactation consultants to answer questions you may have about breastfeeding. If you choose to breastfeed, you will be visited by a lactation consultant during your stay. If you need extra help, a private, outpatient consultation can be arranged and a free breastfeeding support group is available. Breast pump rentals and breastfeeding supplies are also available. For those who are expecting twins, have had breast surgery, or have other special questions, we recommend calling for a consultation before birth.

Web Nursery
Before you go home, we will take your baby’s photo. You may dress your baby in an outfit of your choice, and there is no obligation to purchase photos. You can share these photos with your friends and family by directing them to our www.renown.org/babies and providing them a password to view the picture.

Child Passenger Safety
To ensure that babies and children are as safe as possible when riding in a vehicle, proper child vehicle safety restraint education, inspection and installation are key. Protect your child by scheduling a car seat inspection with Northern Nevada Fitting Station at 775-815-0981.

Safe Haven
If you recently had a baby and cannot care for it, please give your baby a chance to live and grow. The Safe Haven Law protects parents from prosecution of abandonment if they bring their unharmed infant (30 days old or younger) to a designated Safe Haven location. The law allows parents to legally and anonymously surrender their baby.
