Baby Care Class

The baby care class is offered in two different formats: a one day marathon class on a weekend (from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.) or a 2-part series on a weekday evening (2 classes from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m.).

This class is ideal for expectant, new, or adoptive parents. Learn about baby care basics including cord care, circumcision care, jaundice, diapering and bathing. We also go beyond the basics and include essential information on cloth diapering, ‘green baby’ tips, using your car seat correctly, and techniques to calm a crying baby, including instruction on Dr. Karp's 5 S's. You will also learn infant CPR/choking during this class. Participants receive a newborn care DVD, a take-home infant CPR manikin and instructional DVD, and more.  Please bring your infant car seat carrier and vehicle manual to class (if taking the 2-part series, bring to class #2).

Cost is $60.00 per couple. If you are unable to afford the cost of this program, please contact our Call Center at (773) 878-6888 for information about discounted payment options.
