Preparing for the Postpartum and Infant CPR
Ease the transition into parenting by learning what to expect and how to prepare for the first few months of being new parents. This interactive and fun class brings together evidence, experience and trust to provide a well rounded and complete education for parents-to-be navigating the postpartum period and beyond. The four part workshop begins with an interactive discussion around postpartum healing, body changes and tips on alleviating the physical changes of the first month postpartum. After this, we engage in a conversation around postpartum mood, relationships and support systems. We then move into a hands-on training focused on infant CPR and first aid. The day ends with tips and tricks for caring for your newborn, including soothing your baby, reading infant cues, normal newborn appearance, danger signs to look out for, diapering and much more. The day flies by many parents tell us that they felt like they had been let in on the secrets that are the postpartum period. You will leave this day feeling more prepared, confident and ready to start your parenting journey.
