One of the most important things to do before your delivery date is to
take a Baby Steps Tour at the new Center for Women & Infants. Baby
Steps Tours give you a chance to become familiar with our amenities and
services, ask important questions and get to know our staff before your
baby’s arrival.
The 2024 tours take place on the dates and times listed below; no appointments

We also recommend that you pick up a Prenatal Packet from our staff members
during your tour. You can also request a Prenatal Packet during one of
your check-ups at your physician’s office. This helpful packet contains
information you’ll need to prepare for your delivery and is an excellent
resource for planning your admission to the Center for Women & Infants.

place 2-5 days after discharge from the hospital. One of our two Lactation
Consultant/Newborn Follow-through Nurses will conduct a general assessment,
weight check, and bilirubin check of your baby. Follow-through visits
provide the perfect opportunity to discuss any breastfeeding concerns
you may have. Any abnormal findings will be reported to your pediatrician
