Isis Maternity integrates resources for expecting and new parents into one convenient location. It offers prenatal and postpartum classes as well as a place for expecting and new mothers to meet each other and professionals in a warm and nurturing environment.

After a membership fee of $7.50 a month, members pay from about $50 for a one-day class to about $160 for six week classes. Non-members pay slightly more. Workshops, special events and drop-in playgroups are free for members.

Isis Maternity's groups, classes, and consultations address the issues that are important to your new life, from pregnancy tests to folic acid, swollen feet to ultrasounds, car seats to nursing bras, 3am feedings to postpartum blues, and pumping at work to baby's first steps.

Their team of experienced nurses, educators, lactation consultants, psychologists, physical therapists and nutritionists is there to answer all of your questions and to make sure you have the best pregnancy and parenting experience possible.

The Isis Maternity Mission
Isis Maternity's mission is to support women and their families as they prepare for the world of parenting. They are committed to providing:

- Comprehensive, and objective prenatal and postpartum information
- Professional guidance and support for new parents
- An integrated, multi-disciplinary response to the challenges of pregnancy and parenting
- A nurturing and caring environment for expecting and new moms
- A portion of revenues to resources for families in underserved communities
- A stimulating and rewarding work environment for our professional staff

Free Breastfeeding Talk (call for times)
This free drop-in group is a great way to meet other nursing moms and to get ongoing support and assistance. The group is staffed by one of their Board Certified Lactation Consultants and helps you find answers to all your breastfeeding questions. Common topics include: increasing milk supply, managing over-supply or over-active let-down, selecting a pump, expressing and storing breast milk, preparing to return to work, practicing positions for nursing in public or nursing lying down, and identifying normal feeding and sleeping patterns.

Assistance with latch and positioning techniques may be offered and an infant scale is available for following your baby's growth. While this drop-in breastfeeding group is not a substitute for an individual lactation consultation, minor or ongoing concerns and issues can be addressed in this setting.
