Newborn Know-How: Our New Updated Crash Course!

This month we debut our new Newborn Know-How class at Lamaze Family Center. This class replaces our Infant Care class, which was a two week series. Everyone is busy these days, and we heard from parents who wanted to get the information in our Infant Care class, but didn't want to commit to spending two more weeknight evenings away from home and work. So we picked out what we think are the most essential things to know about bringing a newborn home and organized them into our new 2.5 hour Newborn Know-How course. Topics covered include:

  • swaddling
  • diapering
  • feeding
  • bathing
  • when to call the doctor
  • baby safety, safe sleep
  • calming a fussy baby
The first few days and weeks with a newborn are tough, and babies don't come with instruction manuals. So if you are expecting a little one in the next couple months, check out our new class and approach your newborn with more confidence. As a bonus, you will meet other expecting parents who probably share your concerns and excitement. 

Like our other prenatal classes, those with financial need can apply for a scholarship to cover a portion of the class costs. Thanks to our generous donors and the James A. and Faith Knight Foundation for making this possible.

Our next class meets on Thursday March 27th from 6:30-9pm at Lamaze Family Center. This is a great companion to our childbirth preparation classes!To learn more or to register,  click here.
