While our desire to perfectly care for your new little human is innate, the ability to do so confidently is a learned skill. In our Newborns for Newbies class you will learn how to handle your newborn baby like a boss. We will teach you the mechanics of how to bottle feed, hold, diaper, swaddle, burp, and comfort your newborn so that you can transition into parenthood with a bit more ease.
