1-Day Comprehensive Childbirth Coping Skills & Infant Care

This one-day class covers the stages and phases of labor with comprehensive coping mechanisms, pressure points, and massage techniques for managing labor. This class also helps ease feelings of anxiousness leading up to labor by offering relaxation methods as well as tactics for breathing through labor. We discuss how to manage the unknowns of early labor as well. The infant care portion of this class focuses on the first hour of life through your baby’s first few months. We also cover standards of care at the hospital, understanding baby’s cues, feeding, diapering, swaddling, and more to help you develop your parenting style. This is a wonderful class for expecting mothers, families, or couples who are busy and want a comprehensive, compact overview of childbirth and caring for their baby. A great stand-alone or add-on to any other class series.

Bringing Home Baby

This two-hour workshop provides the ins and outs of bringing home a newborn. We will cover how to have a better postpartum in light of COVID-19 and how to support each other when no additional support is available due to social distancing and stay-at-home orders.

Adjusting to new life with a baby can be difficult. New routines and patterns can be a tough adjustment. We will help you navigate theses challenges as well as address any concerns you may have about what to look for when first bringing baby home, breastfeeding, putting parenting strategies into place, introduction to pets at home, family dynamics, and more.

Private Breastfeeding Class

Our in-house lactation counselor will meet with you in your home to discuss feeding routines and patterns to set you up for success. She can help you pick a breast pump, help you size your flanges, help you set up breastfeeding supplies, help you with breastfeeding training and positions and coach you on solutions to problems you could face. This class is helpful before baby is born. Private lactation sessions are also available after the baby arrives.
