As a new parent, there are so many unknowns and babies don't come with instruction manuals (as nice as that would be)!
This is a private class in your home or virtually to show you how daily newborn care activities with the equipment you will be using all the time. Being in your comfort zone better allows you to absorb information and feel comfortable asking questions.
We will send you a questionnaire prior to better customize your class to your individual needs.

Benefits of encapsulation:
