Preparing For Your New Baby Workshop 

Pregnancy is a time busy with preparations and celebrations for your upcoming birth, but it can also offer you the chance to reflect on your life once your new little one has arrived! In this workshop we will pick up where most prenatal classes leave off.  You will be encouraged as you learn more about infants and their needs, and reflect on both your excitement and worries as you approach the birth of your baby. 

Detailed Workshop Content:

• What to expect the first week with a new baby
• Diapering options and bum care
• What does it mean to wear you baby?
• Sleep (including bed-sharing and crib-sleeping)
• How to comfort new babies
• Preparing your home for your baby
• Practical suggestions for breast and bottle feeding

Important key learnings expecting couples will walk away from the workshop with:

• An understanding of typical newborn behaviours and a plan on how to best cope with the integration of a new baby into the family.
• Practical tips on how to prepare their home for the new baby.
• Understanding of various options for sleep arrangements, feeding, and infant care that will fit with the different needs of different families.
