This class is designed to help you feel more confident by teaching you basic parenting skills and more. Partners are encouraged to attend this class, which covers topics such as:

• Infant care skills

• Calming a crying baby

• Protecting your child

• Choosing a care provider

• Understanding infant sleep patterns

• Breastfeeding skills and bottle-feeding

• Car seat safety

This course consists of three, two and one-half hour sessions for three consecutive weeks. Wednesday classes are held from 6 to 8:30 p.m. at Parkview Regional Medical Center conference rooms. The American Heart Association® Family & Friends® Infant and Child CPR and relief from choking course will be taught during the third class of the session.
