Support Groups
Having a support network after you have your baby is crucial for emotional health and beneficial to the transition to parenthood. At The Birth Center, we offer a number of avenues for support for new moms and dads.
New Parents’ Group
Spend time with other new parents and their babies. The focus of this group is discussion of topics relevant to parenting babies, the exchange of support and information and general camaraderie with other parents. This group is free, very informal. Show up whenever you can!
Wednesdays 1pm-3pm for babies newborn to 6 months
Thursdays 1pm-3pm for babies 6 months and above
Breastfeeding Support Group
Led by Certified Lactation Consultant, Katie Madden. Come and talk with other nursing moms about breastfeeding. Have your questions answered, your latch checked, your baby weighed and get overall support. Parents with nurslings of all ages are welcome as well as pregnant parents! Fridays 1pm- 3pm.
