Newborn Care Workshop - $75 ~ Saturdays 9am - 1pm PT

During pregnancy we read books, attend birth classes and keep our bodies fit ready for labor. But how much preparation have you done for the days and weeks after you give birth? Common concerns I hear expectant parents having include:
  • How will I know if he's getting enough to eat?
  • What do I need to watch out for in the first few days of life and who do I call?
  • Is this thing my baby's doing normal?
  • How will I know if my wife has postpartum depression and what do I do?
  • How do I give my baby a bath?
  • When's a good time to start pumping?
  • Will we ever sleep again?
Join us in our next Newborn Care Workshop and get all your questions answered. 
Workshops are online, are offered live over Zoom and are kept to small groups so that you can ask questions and discuss the things YOU want to know for your family.
