Newborn Care - Virtual Class

This virtual class will give expectant parents and/or caregivers an opportunity to learn the basics of caring for their baby in the early months after delivery. These basic skills include: bathing, diapering, dressing, swaddling, and soothing newborns. Some basic breastfeeding skills will be offered but will not replace the comprehensive class which is offered separately. You will also learn about newborn behavior and development including: sleep-wake cycles, newborn reflexes, coos and cries, how to soothe a fussy baby and to identify a baby who is sick and needs medical attention. Important safety considerations for cribs, car seats and other baby equipment will be taught. There will be time allotted for hands-on practice to learn these skills and help alleviate some of the anxieties that most new parents have regarding newborn care.

Please register for the PEP class session. Only after you have completed this process, the zoom meeting information will be provided to you via email prior to your class.
