What families are saying about Family Connects
“The nurse did not rush me. She just listened to me and my concerns, which is what I really needed at that moment.”
“Even though this is my fourth child and I have experience, there was a lot of new information provided by the nurse.”
“The nurse was open and easy to talk to. I was able to ask the nurse questions that seemed 'too small' for a doctor.”
“I really enjoyed the tips regarding my baby, like feeding positions and the sleep recommendations.”
“The nurse gave me information to help care for my baby, like how to calm my baby in a safe manner.”
