Who it’s for: This class is for expecting parents, new parents and anyone hoping to learn more about infant care. For expecting mothers and partners, we recommend this class be taken during the 2nd trimester.

  • Bathing, diapering, burping, holding, and swaddling

  • How to know when to call the pediatrician
  • Learn the breastfeeding techniques for a successful latch
  • A list of essential items and products to purchase for baby’s care will also be provided.

Fee: $75 per couple

This class was extremely useful to us as first-time parents. In particular, it put my husband more at ease in feeling comfortable with day-to-day activities like diapering and swaddling. We got a much better sense of how to incorporate my husband into how he can he useful and bond with the baby in the first few weeks. My only criticism is that it could have been an hour longer -- we got a ton of information, and I think unpacking it a little bit more might be helpful.
