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!
