Why is taking a newborn care class important for expecting parents?

Studies show that parents who take newborn care classes are more likely to feel prepared and less anxious about infant care, leading to a smoother transition into parenthood. These classes cover important topics like diapering, bathing, soothing techniques, safe sleep practices, and recognizing signs of illness. Research also suggests that parents who attend newborn care classes are better equipped to handle common challenges like infant feeding and sleep patterns, which can reduce stress and improve overall family well-being. By gaining these practical skills and insights before your baby arrives, you’ll feel more confident and capable in providing the best care for your newborn.
