Newborn care classes are a fun and hands-on introduction to caring for babies. We practice swaddling techniques, diapering and bathing, extensively discuss optimizing sleep during the newborn period, infant health and safety, and postpartum planning.
This 4-hour class will offer an hour of vaccine education from Dr. Ryan Hassan from Boost Oregon. Dr. Hassan will answer questions about safety, efficacy, and whatever else parents have on their minds when making important decisions about their children’s vaccinations.
