Mother Baby Hour

Mother and Baby

Mother Baby Hour is a time for first-time moms and their babies to get together to ask questions, express concerns, learn about resources and share stories.

A Community Educator facilitates the groups and offers a weekly topic (such as sleeping, feeding or traveling with baby). Join us as early as the first week after your baby is born.

Please Note
Online registration is not available for this program because sessions are held so frequently and offered on an ongoing basis.

To register, call (608) 417-5900 before attending your first session.
