Childbirth Classes

Taught by a Lactation Consultant or Certified Lactation Councilor, this class helps you understand the why's and how's and tricks for an easier start to Breastfeeding! If you plan to also take the Breastfeeding and Bottles class, it is best to take this one first as a foundational course. This class meets in Conference Room A or B on the third floor. We look forward to seeing you and giving you as many tips as possible to help you with your breastfeeding journey.

This class what to do in emergencies. Choking, CPR, use of an AED, and a first aid summary are included. This knowledge can save your child's life in an emergency! It also makes a great safety course for grandparents and other family members who may be caring for your precious newborn. We meet in Conference room A on the third floor.

These tours will include a walk through of Labor and Delivery and our Mother Baby unit. In order to stay as safe as possible, we will keep the tour brief, then meet in the conference or waiting room for half an hour or so to answer questions and go over what to expect during your hospital stay! Parking passes will be provided. Please register for these tours by calling HealthConnection at (716) 447-6205. Tours are limited to four couples per session. We will meet in the 4th floor waiting room!
