Support for New Parents

Becoming a parent comes with many changes, questions and emotions. Our resources for new parents will help guide you through the early days with trusted care, education and support for you and your growing family. At Confluence Health, our support begins when you are thinking about becoming pregnant and continues all the way through your child’s toddler years. Our classes are taught by certified childbirth and lactation educators who give you tools to prepare for your labor and delivery, breastfeeding and caring for your newborn. You can also join the Wenatchee Mother/Baby Support Group, sponsored by Confluence Health. Look for us on Facebook! Search “Wenatchee Mother Baby Support Group” and ask to join.
