Newborn Care (Virtual)

These will be group classes offered on a virtual platform.

For parents who are registered to deliver their babies at Cedar Park Regional Medical Center.

Your Newborn Care Class is taught by a Registered Nurse and Lactation Consultant. Expectant parents will learn the basics of newborn care. This class is very interactive so be prepared to swaddle, burp, and diaper some baby dolls! We will discuss:

• Newborn appearance
• Newborn behavior & reflexes
• What to expect in the hospital
• Newborn testing procedures
• How to choose a Pediatrician
• Newborn baby care such as swaddling, soothing, diapering, bathing and feeding.
• Newborn safety including shaken baby syndrome, sudden infant death syndrome, car seat safety, and when to call the Pediatrician

Mothers should take this class early in their third trimester and partners are encouraged to attend. Be sure to register early as our class size is extremely limited! Please note, due to regulations on class size, seats are limited to mother and partner only, please register for each person attending. This class is about 2.5 hours in length so please wear comfortable clothes.

Supply list: Baby doll, bath bowl (a regular bowl will do), baby shampoo & wash (any bottle will do and pretend it is a baby wash), 2 washcloths, 2 towels, 1 baby blanket, 1 baby hairbrush, 1 nasal aspirator (aka: bulb syringe).
