This past Saturday we went to a parenting class called "surviving the first two months." It went from 9:30-2:30 with 45 minutes for lunch. It was pretty comprehensive.
Outside of the room was a cart with a bunch of plastic babies, boys and girls (who were anatomically correct). Then there were plastic bath tubs with a bunch of stuff - diaper, cloth diaper, onesie, towel, receiving blanket, pajamas. There were long tables set up in the room so two couples could fit at each table with a bathtub and a baby. We learned how to diaper, bathe, and dress the baby. The class also covered the hospital stay and bringing the baby home, car seats, immunizations, how to calm a crying/fussy baby, and some other things about infant and baby development. It was a good class and it was nice to have the kind of hands on aspect of it.
We start our birthing classes in two weeks. We're getting excited!
