This class is intentionally designed for a small group and allows each attendee to benefit from the questions and previous experiences of other participants. Additionally, it offers a fantastic opportunity to connect with other local families who will have similarly aged children. This class consists of two 2-hour sessions and is facilitated at the Vermont Doula Company office suites located at 30 Farrell Street in South Burlington, VT. Attendees will receive Vermont Doula Company’s vetted list of resources that are specific to the needs of new parents and their infants.

Topics for this comprehensive, interactive class include:

  • Introduction to various parenting philosophies
  • Baby health and wellness
  • Newborn safety recommendations
  • Infant care including hygiene and recognition of behaviors and cues
  • Crying, comforting, and swaddling your baby
  • Infant feeding, and the nuances to notice

Additionally, we will explore how the birth experience shapes the postpartum period and how you can plan for success before, during, and shortly after it.

Group Class: 3 hours / $90 | Private Class: 4 hours / $200

This class is taught by an experienced educator from Vermont Doula Company. While this class is designed to be taken before baby’s arrival, new parents have also enjoyed taking this class after the arrival of their baby.
