OUR SERVICES
Baby Basics is dedicated to providing comprehensive services for both new and seasoned parents, including newborn education classes and private postpartum care by an expert registered nurse. Our goal is to support and empower families during this special time by offering personalized care and essential resources.
Baby Basics Class
Baby Basics is a class to inform expecting parents of all the "basics" in bringing home and caring for a newborn. Whether you are expecting for the first time or a seasoned parent needing a refresher, you will gain confidence through valuable education from our Registered Neonatal Nurse, and all of her favorite tips and tricks used throughout her career. This class is usually scheduled around 35 weeks or a time agreed upon by both parties. By this time most families have already gathered the majority of baby supplies and equipment they will be using. We will use your baby supplies to aid in review and demonstration on the topics that are covered in this class.

Welcome Home Class
After the whirlwind of delivery, excitement of your little one’s arrival, and exhaustion from lack of sleep, all of your preparation may seem foggy. Our Registered Neonatal Nurse will provide in-depth education on all topics discussed in our Baby Basics Class and personalize them to your newborn. This class is reserved with your due date and then scheduled shortly after delivery or discharge to begin easing into the transition phase as soon as possible.

Bundle both Baby Basics Classes and gain Nurse Access for continuous support and education. Each class will increase confidence in your ability to care for your newborn. In addition, you will have the extra support of our licensed medical professional, who will be available to address unexpected concerns and questions along the way from birth through the first three months.
Private Postpartum Nurse Services
Private Postpartum Nurse Services provide intensive support and hands-on help to both mother and newborn. Your private nurse will also assist in maintaining the well being of the family as a whole through family centered care.
