What You’ll Learn:
The individual care component is designed to provide your child with health assessments, immunizations and developmental screenings that follow the American Academy of Pediatrics Bright Futures™ guidelines. You’ll be involved and engaged at every step, helping to track your baby’s growth.
The group care component gives moms time to monitor their own health goals and learn together about key topics for new mothers. Providers will lead discussions about subjects that include:
- Stress management
- Nutrition and weight
- Family planning
- Attachment
- Safe sleep
- Breastfeeding
- Early literacy
- Development
- Safety

This program works as either a continuation of your CenteringPregnancy care or as standalone care if you’re new to the program. Your partner or support person is always welcome to attend if you wish.
