Who Is This Class For?

This class is perfect for expectant parents who want to feel confident bringing baby home — especially first-time parents who want real, practical information instead of just the highlight reel.

 

Partners / support people are encouraged to attend!

What will you learn?

You spent months preparing for birth. But what comes after? The fourth trimester — those first weeks home with your baby — is one of the most transformative and overwhelming seasons of new parenthood, and most families walk into it completely unprepared. This course changes that. This course is a comprehensive, evidence-based newborn and postpartum course designed to help you feel informed, confident, and supported — whatever your birth looked like and whatever feeding path you choose.

Feeding Your Baby

A judgment-free, comprehensive look at breastfeeding, formula feeding, pumping, combination feeding, latch, positioning, supply, troubleshooting, and returning to work

Sleep

Realistic expectations for newborn sleep, safe sleep setup, survival strategies for exhausted parents, and an honest look at all the options

Postpartum Emotions & Mental Health

Baby blues, postpartum depression and anxiety, intrusive thoughts, birth story processing, and how to get help early

Support, Recovery & Moving Forward

Building your village, navigating relationships after baby, the role of a postpartum doula, and returning to yourself

The Golden Hour

What happens immediately after birth, the power of skin-to-skin contact, delayed cord clamping, newborn procedures, and how to advocate for the first moments that matter most

Your Body After Birth

Postpartum bleeding, recovery timelines, cesarean healing, pelvic floor health, hormonal changes, and warning signs every parent should know

Getting to Know Your Newborn

What babies actually look like, how they communicate before they cry, normal newborn behaviors, skin conditions, reflexes, and when to call the pediatrician

Newborn Care Basics

Hands-on guidance for holding, soothing, swaddling, diapering, bathing, safe sleep, tummy time, baby wearing, and car seat safety
