Mother Baby Hour


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.

Mother Baby Hour is a safe place to share the joys, fears and hard work of being a parent. It's been a great source of comfort for me. My baby loves to see the other babies. I never imagined how challenging it would be to bring a baby home. Mother Baby Hour helped me realize my feelings were shared by all new mothers. Mother Baby Hour helped me get through the tough days and positively helped me gain confidence in myself as a new mom.
