This
fun class will boost your confidence by teaching essential newborn care
concepts through hands-on practice. You'll be ready to welcome your new
baby home by the time the class is over! Using doll models, learn the
basics of baby care including bathing, diapering, umbilical cord and
circumcision care and how to comfort a crying infant. Learn what to
expect in terms of feedings and wet/dirty diapers, discuss common
newborn health concerns and review how to take a temperature and when to
call the pediatrician. We'll cover the new safer sleep guidelines,
provide SIDS prevention tips, practice swaddling techniques and give you
what every parent of a newborn wants -- sleep tips! We will also review
car seat safety and installation and home and travel safety. Best of
all, the class is offered in a comfortable, non-hospital setting and we
provide all the materials for you to take home and reference as you're
caring for your infant.
