About this Event
Often touted as our "most fun" class, Newborn Care (In-person) is an interactive program where you will learn the ins and outs of caring for your newborn. Gain the skills to confidently identify and address your baby's needs while exploring ways to nurture and soothe your little one.
Class Length: One session, 3 hours
Class Fee: $100 per couple
What you will learn:
- Newborn appearance
- How to hold your baby
- S hopping for you baby
- Bathing your newborn and umbilical cord care
- Diapering
- Dressing your newborn
- Feeding
- Swaddling
- Safe sleeping environment
- Why does your baby cry?
- Signs of an illness and tips for preventing an illness

Your instructor will model swaddling, dressing, and diapering and all participants will have the option to practice using an infant doll model. If you would like to practice these techniques, infection control policies require that you bring your own baby items:
- We will not be providing newborn clothes and swaddles for shared use. If couples do choose to use an infant doll model to practice, we ask that you bring your own newborn clothes and swaddling blankets.
- We will be providing dolls, gloves, and disinfecting wipes. All dolls will be sanitized prior to your class.
When to take the class: We recommend taking this class in your 3rd trimester, unless your physician has advised otherwise. This class is offered 2-3 times a month.
Alternative format: This class is also offered in an online format live via Zoom.
