BirthMark also offers breastfeeding support at our Breastfeeding Clinic. Our services include a lactation consultant, or IBCLC, who offers both on-site and in-home visits. Our weekly breastfeeding support group provides nursing mothers with the social network and and community that has been proven to lead to greater breastfeeding success.

Not every new parenting experience is ideal. When a parent is struggling with postpartum depression or another postpartum mood disorder, understanding, expert help and support services make all the difference. Our services include:

• New Parent Counseling
• Clinical support groups, both in person and by phone, for new parents and postpartum mothers
• Postpartum doulas specializing in perinatal mood disorders
  

At BirthMark, our goal is to create a community of growing families. Research indicates that new parents who have a support network made up of other parents with babies may have an easier time in adjusting and may even have less postpartum depression. Our support groups provide an opportunity to meet other parents and build lasting friendships.

• New Parent Support Groups: Tuesday 11am; Thursday at 1pm
• Breastfeeding Support Group: Wednesdays at 12pm

In order to foster our BirthMark parenting community, we offer free seminars. These are an opportunity to take in new information, have questioned answered, meet local experts, and make friends. Upcoming seminars include:

• Processing Your Birth Experience
• Getting Ready for Baby
• Preparing to Breastfeed
• Infertility and the Mind Body Connection
• Baby wearing

In addition, BirthMark offers skill-building workshops for both professionals and the community at large. Upcoming workshops include:

• Handi-Women: Empowering Women With Knowledge and Tools
• Learn to Birth Childbirth Classes: Never fear--information is here!
• DONA Approved Birth Doula Training
• DONA Approved Postpartum Doula Training
• Breastfeeding Support Seminars for Medical Professionals

Many parents find the supportive presence of a doula, or non-medical birth or postpartum professional, to be a valuable asset as they navigate the unfamiliar territories of birth and the postpartum period. Birth Mark is the home of Delaware Valley Birthing Partners, offering birth and postpartum doula support in the Philadelphia area for over 10 years.

If you or someone you know have a baby and are looking for products, support or services, BirthMark is here to answer your needs.
