Baby Care Basics

Preparing expectant parents for basic newborn care. A fun and interactive class where parents will learn how to swaddle, hold, bathe, dress and care for your newborn. We will also cover normal newborn appearance and the benefits of cloth diapering and baby wearing!  For all of our first time parents who plan to birth at home or in the birth center, we require attendance at our Baby Care Basics Class by 36 weeks of pregnancy (recommended between 32-36wks). Complimentary to SCM clients only.

Breastfeeding 101

This hands on and engaging class is taught to help you and your partner learn the ins and outs of breastfeeding while your baby is still in your tummy.  You will learn the importance of the first 24 hours, tips and tools for positioning and latch, pumping essentials, milk storage, and so much more!  We encourage you to attend this class in the beginning of your third-trimester as this is the optimum time to prepare before your baby arrives.  Partners encouraged to attend. Complimentary to SCM clients only.
