Audio:  “For new parents, we have two special classes that we offer at Banner Desert. One is the Baby Care class and, the other,a Just for Dads class.

In the Baby Care class, mom and her support person will learn together how to bathe, feed, diaper and comfort her baby. Also, you’ll learn how to keep your baby safe and when to call the pediatrician and things to look for to recognize a sick newborn.

The Just for Dads class is a new class that we now offer and it’s a must for first-time dads. It’s led by men for men and it’s taught by one of our pediatricians, who is also an experienced dad. Things that dad will learn about in this class is how to be supportive through labor, how to bond with your baby, ways to comfort your baby when they’re crying, what to expect postpartum, how you can balance work and family, and then some great tips on how to install that car seat. Also, you’ll create a Dad’s tool box.
