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.

True or False: Heartburn in pregnancy equals a newborn baby with a full hear of hair.

True!

Researchers at Johns Hopkins hospital in Baltimore found  a correlation between heartburn and the hairiness of a newborn actually exists.  According to an article in Fit Pregnancy magazine "When pregnant women reported moderate heartburn, they had hairy newborns 82 percent of the time; the majority of heartburn-free women gave birth to bald babies."

It's all about the hormones of course.  Researchers are concluding that the pregnancy hormones which play a role in prenatal hair growth (estrogen and progesterone), also relax the muscles at the bottom of the mother's esophagus and cause gastric reflux, aka heartburn.
