Baby Classes
Brian and I took several baby classes sponsored by the hospital where I will deliver. The first one, about C-sections, I attended alone; Brian was out of town unfortunately. This was a great class because I learned a little about what to expect and I could ask specific questions because I was at the hospital where I will deliver. <>
The second class we took was about basic baby care. This is the fun one where you get to play with dolls! Most of the class was focused on how to comfort baby. I’m certain these techniques will become very important to me over the next few months. I took careful notes, believe me! <>
The third class was about breastfeeding. For me, this was a great class because, although I’ve had lots of friends and family who breastfed, I didn’t really know how the process worked from start to finish. Although parts of the process sound painful, I know that it’s the best thing for Gracie and I intend to keep up with it for at least six months. <>
Overall, attending the classes was reassuring. They gave great information and lots of handouts, which I like because I can refer to them later.
