Led By Carson or Mary Ellen.

While our desire to perfectly care for your new little human is innate, the ability to do so confidently is a learned skill. In our Newborns for Newbies class you will learn how to handle your newborn baby like a boss. We will teach you the mechanics of how to bottle feed, hold, diaper, swaddle, burp, and comfort your newborn so that you can transition into parenthood with a bit more ease.

This class is held in your home (support team encouraged to attend). Very informal atmosphere, lots of laughter included. If you are located outside of a 20 mile radius of our office a travel fee of $40 will apply. Please contact us if you are greater than 30 miles outside of downtown Columbia in order to verify we can accommodate your in-home class.
