Newborn Care

We couldn’t be Baby Care Classes without teaching you how to care for your baby! As Newborn Care Specialists- it’s literally in our title! If you’ve never held a baby before we break things down with the very basic newborn care 101. And if you do have experience with newborns, we guarantee that we have tips and tricks that will change the way you care for newborns!

We have articles about basic care tasks such as bathing your baby, diapering your baby, and cutting or filing newborn nails. We also have content geared towards calming your baby, soothing your baby, the 5 s’s, and how to swaddle a newborn..
