Newborn Care Classes for December

This is it! The last free newborn care class of the year is here. Join me Dec. 1 and 8 as we cover some of parent’s most pressing questions. Night one focuses on breastfeeding. This class covers the breastfeeding basics including how to know the latch is correct, how to know how often to feed and when baby’s done, how to know baby is getting enough to eat without weight checks, what do to if nursing hurts, when to start pumping, how to plan to transition back to work, and what support is available on island. We also talk about newborn’s sleep patterns, baby proofing your relationship, comforting and soothing a newborn, how to play with your baby, how they communicate and what they may be saying, and when to call the doctor. This class is free but registration is required. You can register here or by calling the Nantucket Community School.
