• Birth Plan
• Breast or Bottle Feeding
• Newborn Screening and Possible Cord Blood Banking
• Circumcision
She’ll talk about what to expect during your hospital stay, bringing Baby home, and the bare necessities you’ll need for Baby to be comfortable, safe and healthy. Ms. Reule also cover:
• Expectations for Sleep
• Feeding Cues and Nutritional Needs
• Bathing Safety
• Crying and Soothing Techniques
• Skin Care
• The Importance of Tummy Time

As a Certified Lactation Counselor, Ms. Reule will explain the benefits of breastfeeding and help you gain an understanding of the basics of nursing, along with ways to trouble-shoot technique and results if you’re feeling challenged.
You’ll be able to practice, guided by professionals, different ways to hold your infant, healthy diaper changing and proper burping and comfortable nursing/feeding positions. You’ll learn car seat safety, along with general safety, health and first aid guidelines. We’ll discuss vaccinations and typical development milestones
Ms. Reule will welcome questions, to make sure you leave the class full of wisdom and confidence. Because your classmates will also be expectant parents, you may also leave with new friends that will accompany you throughout your life on this wonderful journey!
