Newborn Essentials Class

Our Newborn Essentials Class is designed to give you the knowledge and confidence you need to care for your baby. Whether you’re an expectant parent, partner, caregiver, or future adoptive parent, this class is for you!

We’ll cover what to expect in the moments right after birth, the importance of skin-to-skin contact, and what APGAR scores are—and why understanding them matters. You’ll also learn how to bond with and care for your newborn, including hands-on practice with diapering, bathing, swaddling, and burping using our own dolls.

Join us to feel informed, prepared, and empowered as you begin your journey into parenthood.

What People Are Saying

In early 2020, my husband and I were a waiting adoptive family. Our adoption agency offered a “baby care class” for waiting families but we were unable to attend due to a scheduling conflict. However,  I thought it would be a great idea for us to take a class like this. I started searching online for options, not totally comfortable attending a class at a hospital since I wouldn’t be actually delivering a baby. I found Stork Ready and reached out to Karen and explained our situation. She was so welcoming and said the newborn essentials class would be very appropriate for us. We communicated with her several times leading up to the class. She did give us a heads up that during the class everyone would go around and share their due date etc. but told us we were free to share whatever part of our story we felt comfortable with. 

​

We absolutely loved the newborn essentials class we took and learned so much from feeding to diapering to bathing a baby. This class is perfect for anyone who plans to parent a newborn, in whatever way they build their family! 

​

In August 2020 our daughter was born. We took her home from the hospital with only a days notice and were SO thankful for all we had learned from Karen. Still today every time I give my daughter a bath, I think of Karen and what I learned over a year ago! 

​

Since becoming a mom, Maddy and I have attended virtual sleep support group, mommy cafes both in person and online as well as made such incredible friends. Stork ready has been a true sense of support for us in our journey. Motherhood is hard but it’s MUCH easier with a supportive mom tribe and stork ready has given me that!!!
