Description:

During this visit, you will learn:

  • Newborn essentials: This is all about newborn health and safety necessities and watch live demonstrations on how they are properly used.

  • The full term newborn: Learn what to expect when working with a full-term newborn and what to look for in skin, sensory development, reflexes, and appearance.

  • Breastfeeding: We will cover the benefits of breastfeeding for mother and baby, engorgement, latch, cluster feeding, hand expression, tips to boost milk supply, tongue tie, and when to contact an IBCLC.

  • Newborn care: It’s more than keeping newborns safe—it’s understanding the unique needs of newborns and how to care for them in all stages. Topics include the first bath, umbilical cord care, and hygiene.

  • Diapering: Learn how to handle diapering with ease and confidence while understanding how to properly care for diaper-related issues.

  • Bottle feedings: Introducing formula and solid foods are big steps for a breastfed baby. We’re covering all the bases so you can feel confident and informed when feeding time rolls around.

  • Soothing your newborn: Sometimes, newborns just need a bit of soothing to calm down and regain their center. However, there are safer and more effective ways to soothe than others—and we’re teaching you exactly what they are.

  • Tummy time: Transitioning to tummy time is an exciting milestone for both mother and baby. Learn how, where, when, and why you should implement tummy time with your baby.

  • Health and safety: Newborns get sick just like everyone else—but caring for a sick newborn is quite different than caring for your sick significant other. We’re preparing you to feel confident and knowledgeable, whether it’s just a slight cold or something more.

  • Sleep and sleep training: Sleepy time can be the most peaceful part of the day or the most frustrating—we’re preparing you for both. Topics include: Sleep cues, newborn sleep, SIDS, swaddling, sleep training, sleep conditioning, and a gentle and effective approach to sleep.
