Baby Talk: Enjoy some ‘time out’ with your new baby!
The Birth Center's board-certified lactation consultant is available to discuss breastfeeding at Baby Talk.
Baby Talk is a free class for parents with newborns from birth to 12 weeks. Class is held every Monday from 10:30 am to noon. A public health nurse, parent educator, and the Birth Center's board-certified lactation consultant are available to answer questions about your newborn and provide support and information on your new journey of parenting. Facilitated discussions cover feeding, attachment, sleep, development, family changes, and returning to work. Parents who come to Baby Talk in person have an opportunity to have their baby weighed.
As of March 1, 2021 Baby Talk is meeting both in-person and virtually. Pre-registration for in-person attendance is required every week to allow for COVID safety protocols and proper physical distancing in the classroom.
