Newborn Care Class families with their babies practicing burp holds.
During a crisis such as Covid-19, parent education becomes even more important to new parents due to the restricted travel orders or pre-existing conditions that limit ‘your village’; postpartum support people, family or visitors. Taking care of your baby also means feeding your baby. Breastfeeding is the best way to strengthen your child’s immune system and recommended by the WHO as best infant feeding practice. We cover breast-feeding holds in this class.
