(Feb. 19, 2015) Peninsula Regional Medical Center in Salisbury will be offering breastfeeding, childbirth and newborn care classes.
A breastfeeding class is scheduled from 9-11 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 21 in the Hallowell Conference Center at PRMC.
Peninsula Regional educators will make presentations on the basics of breastfeeding, proper positioning of baby, how to avoid common problems and how to pump and store milk.
Mothers are invited to bring support members with them, as studies show that breastfeeding is more successful when mom has loving, knowledgeable support. Videos will also be shown to help demonstrate the proper techniques for successful nursing. The fee is $30 for mom-to-be and her coach. Pre-registration is required.
PRMC is also offering a four-week prepared childbirth course on Tuesdays from 6-9 p.m. beginning on March 3.
This interactive course includes information about prenatal care, labor and delivery, postpartum care and infant safety. Class members will tour the medical center and hear about what to expect during labor and birth, different breathing techniques, relaxation skills and other comfort measures to use whether planning a medicated or non-medicated birth.
Classes should be taken during the sixth- to eighth-month of pregnancy. The fee is $75 for the mom-to-be and her coach. Pre-registration is required. Participants are asked to bring a blanket and two pillows to each class.
