Led by a certified Doula and Educator in Breast/Bodyfeeding and Newborn Care

This three-hour Newborn Care Workshop offers in-depth, hands-on education for everything new parents need to know about caring for their baby in the early weeks. The class covers feeding basics, diapering, bathing, soothing, sleep environments, and real-life “what-if” scenarios—so you’re never left wondering what to do in any situation with your newborn.

Who it’s for:
This workshop is perfect for expecting parents at any stage of pregnancy who want to feel confident and prepared before baby arrives, as well as new parents within the first three months after birth who’d like extra hands-on guidance and reassurance as they adjust to life with their newborn.
