Q: Why can’t I
find a baby that was born yesterday?
A: For security purposes, we
only post the baby web pages after the mother and baby have been discharged
from the hospital.
Q: So when should I
expect to see the baby’s web page?
A: Typically, mothers
and babies are able to go home 48-72 hours after the child is born,
in such cases, the baby’s web page should be accessible within
24 hours. If a mother and/or baby have to stay longer, it will be
24 hours after the last one leaves. Please allow an additional day
over a weekend.
Q: I have had my Internet
on Stork Bytes since the time the mother and baby left, but I still
don’t see the baby’s web page, why not?
A: Because Stork Bytes (or
any web site that changes regularly) won’t automatically update
without “leaving” the site and coming aback, the site
will need to be ”refreshed” periodically. To do so,
just click on the “refresh” button, which usually has
a “recycle” icon on it.
Q: Why does my friend’s
baby only have one picture?
A: Mothers can choose between one or two
pictures, therefore the second square is empty sometimes.

Q: I’m expecting a baby soon and would
like to use this service. How much does it cost?
A: There is no charge; this
is a complimentary service provided by EAMC.
Q: Should I have safety or confidentiality
concerns?
A: Patient safety and confidentiality
are our #1 priorities. We do not use last names, and the page is
simply linked to our web site, which IS NOT part of our patient
database.
PLUS, we do not post your baby page until AFTER you and your
baby
have been discharged from the hospital. Sorry, there are no exceptions.
The only information listed is that which you provide on the authorization
form.
Q: How many pictures will appear on my
baby’s web page?
A: Either one (1) or two
(2) pictures will appear on the screen. The top picture is of the
baby by itself, while the bottom picture is typically of the baby
with the parents and/or siblings.
