Caring for Your Newborn

With Barbara Robertson

“I really liked the chance to ask lots of questions. The class covered a wide range of topics and was particularly helpful to me as a first-time mom.” — Stella Resko, Ann Arbor, MI

Overview

In this class we will cover the basics of caring for a newborn. From trusting your instincts and learning to read your baby’s cues, to diapering, bathing, and calming your baby, we hope to increase your confidence about the coming transition. We will include the latest evidence-based information about infant safety (sleep environment, slings, car seats) and newborn consciousness and sensory capacity. Hands-on swaddling practice and baby wearing (all about wraps, carriers, and slings), as well as an introduction to the cloth diaper option (brief). Get your questions answered!
