Scituate
Babies is a healthcare
program offered by the Scituate Health Alliance. Our goal is to provide
local and affordable primary healthcare services to expectant families. Scituate Babies also
provides: Childbirth
& Breastfeeding Education Classes These classes are taught by
certified childbirth educators. The classes will be a series of
3 two hour classes. The classes offered include what to expect
during labor, breastfeeding, postpartum care and newborn care.
These classes allow you to get answers to any questions and/or concerns
you have about the start of your new family. Residents of any
town may participate. Home
Visits A nurse will visit you and
your new baby within 24 hours of your return home. At this time
you will be offered the opportunity to receive one visit each day for
the first week. Our nurse will tailor visits to meet the needs
of you and your baby. Support
Groups Groups will be developed based
on the needs of the new mothers and newborns involved in the program.
We understand that a new baby can be overwhelming and we are available
to provide guidance and reassurance to you during your transition to
parenthood. New moms can meet to discuss breastfeeding, infant
care, and post-partum depression. Complimentary
Welcome Basket Each new family will be provided
with a "welcome basket" that contains some of the essential items
needed to transition into parenthood. Opportunities
to Meet Local Expecting Parents It's a great opportunity
to meet other expectant Scituate families and share your experience
without even having to travel out of town! Scituate
Babies wants to help you get off to a good
start!
