Third Coast Birth & Baby

Third Coast Birth & Baby offered the Guide to Childbirth, a six-week series covering labor, birth, newborn care, feeding, and early parenthood. The Chicago organization also provided a la carte classes on Comfort and Coping, Newborn and New Parent Care, and Feeding Baby. Its community offerings included drop-in playgroups, multilingual storytime, family yoga, toddler art classes, and birth class reunion meetups for participating families. Founded in 2015, Third Coast began with classes and groups in McKinley Park and Bucktown before opening a storefront on Fullerton. The organization closed its doors in early 2023 and announced it was no longer offering classes, while sharing resources from other local birth and family support providers.
