Caring for Your Newborn

The delivery and breast feeding classes were good.

Caring For Your Newborn was the first class I didn't think was worth the time or money. It went a half hour over. It covered stuff that grandparents are supposed to teach (if you didn't help with younger siblings) like bathing and diapers. The video about "the period of PURPLE" was interesting. I guess I knew that some babies sometimes cry for no apparent reason but this was good reinforcement. The CPR part of the 3.5 hours we sat in class was barely a half hour. Our needs would have been better served by taking a CPR class at the Red Cross, I'm thinkin'.
