Parenting 101: Birth and Beyond

Congratulations! You are expecting a baby and it is an exciting time. The members of our Childbirth Education team at Flagstaff Medical Center are here to help you and your family prepare for this experience. We offer a variety of classes and services to give you the information and assistance you will need for birth and beyond. Classes are taught by Labor and Delivery nurses and certified, specially trained healthcare professionals. Early registration is recommended, as classes fill up quickly.

For more information on all CBE classes, please contact the Education office at 928-773-2491.

Course Description

There is so much to learn about caring for your new baby! This four-hour class will introduce new and expecting parents to vital information to enhance both physical and emotional growth from birth to 1 year of age. This class will cover several topics that include: diapering, swaddling and infant slings, skin-to-skin time; home, crib, and car-seat safety; immunizations; umbilical cord, and circumcision care. We will also discuss sleep, nutrition, development, signs of illness and health concerns, and healthy family adaptation to a new baby.

Attend this class before or after your baby is born. It is a “must” for first-time parents.

Classes are Saturdays from 9 am – 1 pm.
