Newborn Care Class

$60.00

Welcoming your new baby is a joyful experience.  Knowing what to expect, and how to care for your baby ahead of time will ease any anxiety that you may have regarding the early days at home with your newborn. We can help you prepare!

Description

Week 5 of our Guide to Childbirth class focuses on baby care and bonding during the first 3 months. Taught by postpartum doula, Lauren Franzen.

Topics covered:

  • what to expect in the early days
  • basic child development topics – infant development and how to respond appropriately to baby’s cues
  • practical use knowledge – how to change a diaper & how, why and when to swaddle a baby
  • sleep safety – where and how should infants sleep?

In the case of a rollback in the City of Chicago or State of Illinois reopening phases where we can no longer safely hold class in-person, or if a class cancellation due to in-class covid exposure is necessary, class will move to a virtual format. There are no refunds.
