We have created the Birthplace Baby Blocks to give you, your family and your friends a special way to celebrate your newest family member-and to honor big brothers and sisters, too! 

With your gift of $100, your child becomes a member of the Birthplace family. His or her name and date of birth will be etched on an individual Birthplace Baby Block, which will be mounted and proudly displayed in The Birthplace for all to see.  Additional Birthplace Baby Blocks may be purchased at any time for your new baby, or to pay tribute to the birth of older children and grandchildren.

To learn more, please call 203-384-3522.

This class prepares and enables children to attend the birth of their soon-to-be-sibling. The parents, child and a special coach for child, who will be present at the birth must attend. This program is individualized for each family and is a one time 1 ½ hour class. 

Lactation education is for expecting and new parents. This education is available for both patients and non-patients of the hospital. Service includes free telephone consultation available to any breastfeeding mother in the Greater Bridgeport area.
