Infant Care Class (IN PERSON or VIRTUAL)

In this class we cover all the basics of life with a newborn. We start with a question and answer session with a local pediatrician. You will learn what to buy, how to bathe a newborn and the importance skin-to-skin newborn contact. You will have an opportunity to practice important skills like how to hold a baby, swaddling and diapering. We will teach newborn safety including how to safely use car seats to how reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome or SIDs.

If possible please bring a partner or support person –ideally someone who will be present in your child's life after you go home. Also, please bring your infant car seat if you already have one (if not no worries).
