Whether you have some experience with babies or zero experience with babies, this class is for you! This hands-on interactive class is filled with information based on the latest research, recommendations, and developments in the field for newborns and babies under 12 months.

Have you ever heard babies don’t come with an instruction manual?

No need to worry! Start the early days feeling confident that you have the skills needed to ease into life with a baby by taking a Newborn + Baby Care 101 Class!

You and your partner will have a chance to learn by seeing demos from your instructor (such as bathing techniques, diapering, and tips and tricks for soothing - including swaddling), watching videos, while talking with other parents starting their journey to parenthood, and benefiting from other people’s questions. This class includes a mix of natural + modern options for all families. This class is perfect to expand on your knowledge that you learned in your prenatal class, and is also great for parents who are welcoming a baby through adoption or surrogacy
