Course Description

There is so much to learn about caring for your new baby! This four-hour class will introduce new and expecting parents to vital information to enhance both physical and emotional growth from birth to 1 year of age. This class will cover several topics that include: diapering, swaddling and infant slings, skin-to-skin time; home, crib, and car-seat safety; immunizations; umbilical cord, and circumcision care. We will also discuss sleep, nutrition, development, signs of illness and health concerns, and healthy family adaptation to a new baby.

Attend this class before or after your baby is born. It is a “must” for first-time parents.

Classes are Saturdays from 9 am – 1 pm.
