Childbirth preparation classes

Newborn care

Sometimes, you don’t know all the questions to ask until you’ve actually experienced something. After you and your newborn baby go home, our after-care services continue with parenting and breast feeding classes. In these sessions, we help new moms and dads with practical advice and they learn skills that will help them give their babies the best care possible.
