Metro DMV Newborn Care classes
Your Experts in
Newborn & Infant Care

As an expecting parent, you know you will need to learn new information, new skills, and new vocabulary.
Are you worried there are things you don’t know?
Metropolitan Doulas offers infant care classes to give you evidence-based information on topics that matter most in the early days of parenting, so you start confident and informed on the decisions that lie ahead.
Ask about our referrals for CPR education and Car Seat Technicians who can help ensure your new car seat is installed correctly and safely.
Our newborn care classes are done privately, in your home or virtually, so we can tailor our information to your baby and family. If you know other expecting families, we are happy to arrange a group session for you and your friends.
Preparation for Baby and Feeding
As an expecting parent, you are preparing for labor and learning about birth, but you may wonder what comes after the hospital? Taught by one of our experienced doulas in your own home or virtually, Metropolitan Doulas' Preparing for Baby and Feeding is a great first step towards getting ready for life with your new baby.
This 2.5 hour Newborn Care Class covers:
- What to expect during birth recovery
- Newborn development and behavior
- Feeding basics (lactation and bottle/pump use)
- Parent and infant sleep
This course is tailored to your unique family and questions, and introduces you to a postpartum doula who can answer your follow-up questions later.
Babywearing Education
Our certified babywearing consultant Laci will work with you to determine which style of carrier will likely suit you best, practice with gear you already own, and learn how to properly put on and take off the carrier.
