Classes
At Touro, we know that parents new and experienced can always learn more
about preparing and caring for a new child. Take a baby food making class,
an infant CPR class, or learn about hypnobirthing to help prepare for
the birth of your baby. Register for one of our many prenatal and early
parenting classes.
At Touro, we support all birth options whether you would like a certified
nurse midwife, a supporting doula, or hydrotherapy in labor. It's important
that each patient finds the birth team that is right for you. Your provider
