  • Jaundice and other common newborn conditions
  • Choosing a pediatrician & knowing when to call them
  • When to feed the baby & how to know they're getting enough
  • Supplies for bathing, diapering, nail trimming, skin care & more
  • How to bond more deeply, improve your sleep & learn to trust your parenting instincts
​
... And will receive hands-on instruction in:
  • Soothing
  • Swaddling
  • Diapering (cloth, compostable & disposable)
  • Holding baby & transferring them person to person
  • Bathing, nail trimming, the Colic Dance & other skills

In Person Class Rates
I am happy to offer in person private classes in my office in San Rafael or in clients' homes.
I am medically vulnerable, so do wear a mask for indoor in person appointments and ask my clients to do the same, 
as well as opening some windows and/or running an air purifier.
I understand this isn't possible or accessible for everyone, and am happy to meet outside or virtually as needed.

If you come to my office in San Rafael on a weekday, then the fee is $220 for a private in person class.
For in office classes on holidays and weekends, there is an additional $50 fee.
If I come to your home, then the fee is the $220 private class fee, plus a travel fee (to be determined based on your location).
(This option is especially useful if you want me to take a look at the supplies you have or space you're creating for baby care and feeding).
