The Birthing Center
After You Return Home
 Our care doesn't stop when you leave
the hospital with your baby. We've designed many services to provide you with the reassurance and support you need once you go home.
Parenting classes.
Meriter offers a variety of classes for new and seasoned parents. We invite you to join us for an infant massage class,
infant sign language or one of our many other enjoyable classes. Register online for a class now through the Meriter Classes and Events section,
or call (608) 417-5900.
Help with breastfeeding.
The assistance of our Birthing Center nurses should have started you in a good breastfeeding relationship. Of course, you're still bound to have questions now and again. That's why we offer our free Breastfeeding Helpline, which connects you to a specially trained lactation consultant. We offer a Breastfeeding Clinic to moms who need extra help. And breast pump rentals and breastfeeding supplies are available through HomeStretch, Meriter Home Health's retail location at 1 S. Park Street.

The support of other new
parents.
At Meriter's Mother Baby Hour,
first-time moms and their babies meet weekly with a parenting educator. It's a
wonderful opportunity to learn more about parenting, chat with other new moms,
ask questions and discuss concerns. Call (608) 417-5900 to discuss which
group is best for you.
