With Jaminda Springer

I’m really glad we made the trip down! Very informative, glad to hear an “alternative” view on all these topics, as we are from a less open-minded type of town. Thanks!”–Class participant.

“The class opened my mind to things I hadn’t thought about or didn’t feel comfortable asking others.”–Class participant.

“What a great class! And thank you for having such a warm and wonderful center here in Ann Arbor.”–Class participant.

Overview

As parents, we are all figuring it out as we go along. Trial and error will definitely be a learning strategy as you get to know your baby. In this class, we will try to limit the “error” part of “trial and error” by sharing practical insights and identifying supportive resources. How to hold a newborn — just how fragile are they? What are the sensory capacities of the newborn? How can parents best determine their baby’s needs and read their baby’s cues? Is all that stuff necessary? What equipment and supplies do you really need? What about diapering, bathing, and calming the baby? Just how sleep deprived will you be? Get your questions answered!
