New parents have many questions when preparing for the birth of their newborn. The Childbirth Education Department provides a variety of opportunities for learning these skills.

Classes are regularly scheduled for expectant parents in Lamaze, Breastfeeding and Infant care. Certified instructors teach all sessions.

When your baby is here, the education continues. We have Lactation Consultants who are available to answer your questions and support you through those first challenging days.
