Maternity
Newborn Family Center
 Births take place in the Newborn Family
Center at Chenango Memorial Hospital. The center has labor/delivery/postpartum/recovery
rooms, a whirlpool bath to ease labor, nursery, and a kitchen
for laboring patients. The staff of the newborn Family Center
and Women’s Health Center team work together to provide
a secure and safe environment in which the birth process
becomes a family event.
Breastfeeding Classes
New or retuning mothers will benefit from
this brief overview of breastfeeding your new infant. This
class is taught to help prepare mothers for the challenges
and rewards of breastfeeding. Tips, methods, dos and don’ts
will be covered by a registered nurse. Class is also open
to mothers not birthing at Chenango Memorial. The class
is usually held on the 4th Wednesday of every month, 7pm,
in the Newborn Family Center. To register, please call 337-4145.
Childbirth Classes
Let’s get ready to have a baby! This class
is an in-depth trip through the entire birthing process. This class includes different methods, positions, techniques,
and possibilities during labor. Parents often feel more
informed and confident after going through this series of
casual classes. Preparing yourself, your partner, and your
family is a little easier when you have an idea of what
to expect.
There are 4 classes in this program, scheduled
over 4 consecutive Monday evenings from 6:30 – 8:30pm. This
class takes place in the Basement Conference Room on Chenango
Memorial Hospital’s lower level. Registration is required. Please call 337-4145 for more information or to register.
Sibling Classes
There are about to be many changes in your
house with the arrival of a new sibling. This class is specifically
for that future big brother or sister. A little special
time with them before the birth will help them adjust and
prepare for the new role they are about to have placed upon
them. This family atmosphere is always a favorite among
parents and the hands-on classes are scheduled on an as
needed basis, 7-9pm, in the hospital’s Private Dining Room.
For information call 337-4145.
