The link to the class has been provided in your calendar invite.
To be ready to participate you'll want to have a few things on hand.
* A doll or teddy bear for diapering, swaddling and massage practice. I recommend one that is at least 15- 21" in length.
* Newborn disposable diaper
* Wash cloth or wipe
* Square baby blanket
* Seven Sling or baby wearing carrier (the simpler, the better)
* Here's how to get a free one or two!

You will be able to see me and for the practice part of the class it is best if I can see you too. Although computer or TV viewing works well for the lecture or my demonstration for you, you may wish to have your phone handy to log in for me to help guide you through the swaddling practice. This is completely up to you.
As you prepare for Newborn Care, Calming & Massage, attached are some printables, or you may choose to save them to your device so you have them with you as you visit your OB or pediatrician.
