Newborn Care Classes

Confident newborn care starts here

Choose the class that fits your family

Most families need only one of these two classes, not both.

Bringing Home Baby is for families who gave birth. It covers newborn care and your own postpartum recovery. It is included in the All Access Class Pass.

Newborn Care 101 is baby care only, with no birth or postpartum-recovery lessons. It is made for families welcoming a baby through adoption or surrogacy, and for anyone who wants the care skills without the recovery content. It is a separate class and is not in the pass.

If you take Bringing Home Baby, you do not need Newborn Care 101.

What parents say about us:

Josie M.

Empowering, informative, and truly life-changing!

“I cannot recommend these birth and baby education classes enough! As a first-time parent, I felt overwhelmed by all the information out there, but this course broke everything down into clear, supportive, and easy-to-understand lessons. They made me feel confident and empowered going into labor and early parenthood.”
Erica & Patrick B.

We absolutely loved these classes!

“We absolutely loved these classes! So informative and we liked that we could pause for the day and resume when we had time. I highly recommend them to all expectant parents.”
Theresa M.

I was able to take so many great classes!

“Birth and Baby University is so helpful. I was able to take so many great classes to help me prepare for birth.”
Christine M.

I had no idea what to expect before these classes!

“These classes were really helpful for my partner and I. We feel so much more confident about going into birth now. I had no idea what to expect before these classes. We also took the class to prepare for breastfeeding and caring for our new little cutie pie. 10 out of 10 recommend. You wouldn’t believe how much you don’t know about caring for a newborn before you take these classes.”
Amber C.

So grateful for classes that I could take at my own pace!

“So grateful for classes that I could take at my own pace. The classes really eased my anxiety on what to expect as a first time mom. I took a comfort and bringing home baby class and definitely gained some tools that I wasn’t aware of before. Thank you!”

Laura V.

The content is evidence-based and inclusive!

“BBU is a great resource for busy families expecting a child. The content is evidence-based, it is inclusive, and the materials are very well produced. My office (pelvic health) recommends it to expecting parents all the time.”
