A Seymour hospital is offering a program aimed at helping mothers-to-be, as well as those who are considering having children.

Schneck Medical Center is offering its “Best Beginnings Program for New and Future Moms-to-Be.” Schneck’s Director of Marketing, Stephanie Furlow, says the program will help new and future moms to “get ready for the physical, emotional and lifestyle changes that come with having your first baby or growing your family.” She explains that this new program includes help in finding a pediatrician, breastfeeding basics, healthy eating for mom, what to expect in the delivery room, car seat basics and more.

Furlow says the Best Beginnings program will be held from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the Schneck Auditorium four times this year. They are scheduled for: Tuesday, Feb. 16; Tuesday, May 17; Tuesday, July 16; and Tuesday, Oct. 4.
