BREASTFEEDING HELP:
Leave your questions on the Breastfeeding Help line, 360.514.4027. For all other concerns about your infant, call your baby's doctor.
BREASTFEEDING SUPPORT:
Questions? Concerns? Need some friendly reassurance? Join us on Thursdays in the Family Birth Center Classroom for a casual visit with other breastfeeding moms and a lactation specialist. Due to lack of space and time, no siblings please. You do not need to register for this program.
Thursdays: Birth - 4 weeks : 12:00-1:15
1 month and older : 1:30-2:30 |
Labor, Birth, Breastfeeding and Baby Care Accelerated (2 night series)
No time? No problem! Attend our accelerated program that provides you with valuable information to help you through labor, birth and the first few days of having baby at home. Learn about the birth process, hospital procedures, relaxation techniques, medication and intervention options for birth, cesarean birth, newborn care and breastfeeding basics. Due to the quick pace of the class, there is less time for practicing the relaxation skills than in our 5-week or Weekend series classes. This class is free to state medical insurance patients with completion of a tour. Click this link to choose a date and register online.
