Baby Care Class
This class is offered to new parents and adoptive parents interested in
learning important skills before the new baby arrives. We'll cover basic
techniques to care for your newborn. The class will include a
discussion of infant cues, sleep and feeding habits, the signs and
symptoms of illness, newborn characteristics, infant milestones,
bathing/hygiene, diapers/diapering, strategies for coping with crying
and tips for adjusting to life with a new baby. This is a great class
for first time parents. Our small group size allows for demonstration
and practice, as well as a pace conducive to discussion of individual
needs. Expectant mothers are encouraged to bring a support person –
partner, mother, best friend, etc.
