Learn what to expect on the big day and how to prepare
One of the most important choices a new parent makes is how to feed their newborn. At Marian Regional Medical Center, our physicians, nurses and breastfeeding support specialists are here to help you make the best choice for you and your family.
Our approach to infant feeding is guided by compassion, research, real-world experiences and the infant's and family's unique needs. It’s designed to help all families thrive, supporting both breastfeeding families and those who make an informed choice not to breastfeed.
Once you go home, it’s important to know what to watch for that may indicate a problem for yourself or your baby.

Emotional health is as important as physical health, especially for new moms. Your baby needs a healthy mom in order to thrive.
Women with high-risk pregnancies get the specialized care they need before delivery at Dignity Health Perinatal Center – Santa Maria.
Your baby must go home in a properly installed car seat. As many as 73% of car seats are not installed properly. To insure your car seat is installed correctly, please take advantage of a free car seat inspection.
We’ve put together the answers to many of the questions that come along with preparing for a new baby.
If your baby was exposed to drugs like opiates while you were pregnant, he or she may start to experience symptoms as soon as 24 to 48 hours after birth. We now have a new and different approach called Eat, Sleep, Console.
We offer a number of Childbirth and Parenting Classes to help women and their partners to know what to expect at delivery and to prepare to care for their newborn child.
