Breastfeeding support

We have international board-certified lactation consultants on our team to help you learn and practice proper breastfeeding techniques. We also have a Texas Ten Step designation, showing our dedication to improving maternity care practices in birthing facilities.

Lactation services include no-cost breastfeeding consultations, an infant weight station, a hospital-grade pump rental program and the Stork's Nest store. Call the Lactation Center at (210) 575-0261 Monday through Friday to learn more about services.

Safe sleep education

Sudden unexpected infant death (SUID, formerly known as SIDS) is when a baby younger than one year old dies suddenly and unexpectedly while sleeping. While the cause of SUID is still unknown, Safe Sleep practices can significantly reduce the risk of SUIDS. All of our labor and delivery hospitals are Safe Sleep Certified, which means our teams are educated and trained on the Infant Safe Sleep guidelines provided by the American Academy of Pediatrics, and we offer this safe sleep education to our parents and caregivers.

Postpartum support

In addition to comprehensive women's care, we offer the following services for new moms and moms-to-be:

  • Beyond Baby Blues class and support group

These services are by appointment only. Please call (210) 575–0355to schedule an appointment.
