Having a new baby can be very overwhelming; it’s a brand
new experience with so many new things to learn and figure out, it can be
difficult to know where to turn for information and support!
That is where the Welcome Baby program comes
in.
Our program is a free community
service that is dedicated to helping the mothers of Utah County feel confident
in this new role. We have a few
different free services available to help meet that goal, including home visits,
parenting classes, and playgroups.
Home visits are the main way that we work to help new moms. We have trained volunteers (mothers, grandmothers, and students with experience in this area) who will come to
your home and bring you information about your baby’s health and
development. They can answer any questions
you might have and if you have any concerns they can help you find the
resources you need in your community.
This is a great resource for information, but it’s also nice just to have
someone to talk to about what’s going on with your baby and how you are acclimating
to the world of motherhood! Along with
some great information, our home visitors will bring you a free gift to
welcome your new baby! It usually
includes a blanket, a cute little onsie, a board book, and a book for you with
information on taking care of your baby throughout the first year.
Our Ready to Learn classes are a good way to get
information about how your child learns and grows, and what you can do to help
them with that process. We cover topics
from temperament and helping your child deal with anger, to the importance of
reading and play to your child’s development. It’s also a good place to meet other
moms, ask questions, and get a free children’s book and activity every time you
attend! These classes are held the
third Wednesday of every month from 12pm to 1pm at the Provo Health Department.
Last, but not least, we have a newsletter, a blog, and a facebook page with health and development information, parenting tips, community events, and more!
We don't want any mom in our community to ever feel alone, unsupported or like she doesn't have the information and resources that she needs! For more information about any of our programs, to contact us, or to sign up for home visits, the newsletter, or our Ready to Learn classes, visit:
