Basics of Feeding the Baby
(Sure we know the basics- but I think our breastfeeding class will come in handy!)
 |
| Baby can not eat turkey legs (this momma WILL be at the end of the month though) |
 |
| Mom can breastfeed, dad can not! |
Basics of Changing the Baby
(We plan to try and cloth diaper- and well-
a class will tell us for sure if this is something that is doable for us or not!)
 |
A peek is enough to see if baby needs changed!
Use wipes when cleaning the baby- not your skirt!
(Good to know-- ya know so you don't smell like poop all day!)

Healthy Beginnings for Newborns
(We have to keep that baby healthy, and there's no better way to do that
then take a class that tells you how!)
(Babies do not like standing up in the car, or having a buckle in their face!)
(Swaddling=good. The way the storke brings your baby=bad)
(Babies prefer big pens, not little kennels)
(This one gives me reassurance that baby WILL like Polly.
Good thing we don't have fish though- fish are unsafe for babies!)
(Don't lift the baby by the head- no matter how large the head is)
Bootcamp for New Dads
(This is all for Matt-- sure he knows some stuff- he did grow up with a baby sister,
but more knowledge won't hurt.)
(Don't give the baby x-rated beverages. Instead hold the baby.)
(Grow your hair long and stretch the babies legs,
do not expect your baby to bench press while you cheer them on.)
(We don't have to worry about this one- I don't think Matt knows how to play chess.)
(Babies will smile if you put your fingers in their mouth-
but it's better to put a bear on your hand.)
(Lift the baby above your head is good-
as long as baby doesn't throw up while he/she's in the air.)
We also signed up for pain management in labor, prepared childbirth, a tour of the hospital and a bradley method class. Matt and I are both really excited to start these classes. All joking aside- there is a lot that we can learn. I will update as we take the classes!
