Babies require a lot of care, so it's common to feel overwhelmed and exhausted. Baby blues tend to subside after a week or two, but if you can't shake the feelings of being overwhelmed and anxious, and are experiencing severe sadness, you might be suffering from postpartum depression.

When Matt Lange and his entrepreneurship students set a goal to give back to their community, Logansport Memorial was honored to be the recipient of their kindness. These students from the Century Career Center raised funds to put together gift baskets with essential baby items that will be donated to families delivering at Logansport Memorial's Family Birth Center.

At Logansport Memorial Hospital, we know there is no moment quite like bringing a new baby into the world. And we also know just how important it is to make sure that moment is comfortable and safe for mom and baby. Our highly-trained staff provides individualized care and nurturing throughout labor and delivery to make sure our moms are in the best hands possible. For Sabrina Aspinwall, this high level of care alleviated her fear and anxiety.

There is an endless amount of education and tips given to families that are getting ready to welcome a new baby. From prenatal appointments to postpartum handouts, there is an abundance of information available on how to keep you and your baby safe. Out of these tips and lessons, the most important thing you need to know before bringing baby home is how to practice safe sleep. 

We are excited to announce that the first baby of the New Year was born on January 2 at 10:35 PM to Shana and Brian Enders from Logansport, Indiana. Baby Silas is 7 pounds 14 ounces, 22 inches long, and has a full head of brown hair.
