Welcome to Just About the Baby! This is an interactive class designed for expectant parents, grandparents, adopting/intended parents, nannies or anyone else needing a refresher on newborn care. We will discuss challenges you may face in the first few weeks at home with the new baby. Some of the topics include: safe sleep, feedings, soothing and general infant care.

We will practice hands-on skills including diapering, bathing and swaddling. If you register for an in-person class, we will provide the baby doll and supplies for you to borrow during your class; if you choose a VIRTUAL class, we ask that you have a few basic items on hand. Your instructor will include this info in an email prior to class.

*A support person is encouraged to attend class (no additional fee). The class fee includes the book, handouts and your session with your instructor.

*If you are an Ascension Employee, please call to request a discount code BEFORE registering for a class. We are unable to apply the discount after a registration has processed. Employees will be expected to show their employee photo ID badge upon arrival to class.

Please feel free to contact us at The Family Learning Center (Monday-Friday 9 am-3 pm) at TheFamilyLearningCenter@ascension.org or 615-284-6455.
