Homecoming: Life with a New Recruit
One of the reasons we care so much about birth at Birth Boot Camp is because we believe that every family deserves an amazing start with their little one.
Birth is just the beginning!
One of our newest classes, Homecoming: Life with a New Recruit, prepares couples for the months after the baby is born.
People say that babies don’t come with a manual, but they do now! And an online class!
What You’ll Learn
Homecoming: Life with a New Recruit is more than just a diapering class. It prepares you for all the aspects of early parenting that you and your partner will want to know. It covers:
- Routine tests and procedures for your newborn
- What is a new baby like and what to do the first few days
- How to comfort your new baby
- Recreating the womb so that the transition to life outside you is pleasant
- The benefits of breastfeeding
- Tips to make breastfeeding work
- Safe sleep with your baby
- Cloth diapering
- Postpartum emotions
- Intimacy for the couple
- And more!
Why You’ll Love It
Education makes a difference. It gives comfort when we are scared, and it makes the unknown feel doable. Having a new human and not knowing the basics of parenting is particularly rough. This class will leave you feeling excited, along with your partner.
Not only will you know how to do baby basics, but you’ll also have a strong foundation for the beginning of your breastfeeding relationship, a huge source of stress when it proves difficult, and you’ll know how to calm your baby gently, without harsh tactics.
Baby care is wonderful, but so is mama care! This class doesn’t ignore mother but helps you understand some of the unique emotions that occur in those early days. In addition, you’ll spend time focusing on your couple relationship and how it evolves and strengthens with the addition of children.
