No matter how many times you’ve been through it, expecting, having, and raising a baby are truly some of life’s biggest challenges. Making that adventure a little less stressful is what The Lytle Center for Pregnancy & Newborns will be all about when it opens in July 2013 at Swedish/First Hill.
It will be the “go-to” place for moms and dads (and brothers and sisters and grandmas and grandpas) expecting a new baby. In this warm, welcoming space, new families will take classes, gather support from each other, get help with lactation, purchase necessities, and take advantage of a new mom and well-baby exam a few days after birth to make sure everything’s going just right.
Here are just a few of the services that will be available at The Lytle Center:
-
Clinic for new mom and well-baby checkups a few days after baby’s birth
-
Certified lactation-nurse consultant providing breastfeeding support
-
Retail necessities for pregnancy, childbirth, parenting, breastfeeding, newborn and wellness
-
Classroom space for childbirth, parenting and family education classes
-
Exercise space with fitness classes for pregnant and postpartum moms
-
Meeting area for expectant parent, sibling and grandparent support groups
-
Meeting space for social workers and support groups, including those focusing on postpartum mood disorders
-
Baby changing and weighing station
-
Gathering point for Happy Birth Day get-acquainted tours and pre-birth tours at Swedish/First Hill
