When your mum and dad are estimated to be worth and $350 million and $460 million respectively, you can rest assured you'll be getting the best birthing suite money can buy. Beyonce gave birth in an executive suite at New York's Lenox Hill Hospital, where the average upscale patient can expect to pay more than $5000 - plus medical costs - for a three-night stay. The "boutique hotel-like features" include fine bedding, flat screen TVs, a concierge service, and one-on-one nurses for patients and their babies.

![They do some of the dirty work themselves: "Actually, [Jay-Z] is very good. We both [change diapers]. I love changing diapers ... I love every moment of it, it's so beautiful. I love it all," Beyonce revealed on <i>Anderson Live</i>.](http://images.essentialbaby.com.au/2013/01/08/3937618/foot-80x80.jpg)





![They've got friends in very high places - the super couple are friends with President Obama and the First Lady, Michelle. In an interview with a US radio station, Obama revealed he'd given the new dad some advice: "I made sure that Jay-Z was helping Beyonce out [with the baby], and not leaving it all with mum and the mother-in-law." When Jay-Z later threw a fundraising party for Obama's re-election campaign, the president joked that he and the rapper shared a bond because "we both have daughters and our wives are more popular than we are".](http://images.essentialbaby.com.au/2013/01/08/3937765/obama-80x80.jpg)


![Behind it all, they're just a couple madly in love with their daughter. In May, Jay-Z said, "I thought I would be more inspired to have all these new feelings to [rap] about, but I really just want to hang out with my daughter. I want to enjoy this time for what it is."](http://images.essentialbaby.com.au/2013/01/08/3937619/jay-z-80x80.jpg)
