Metro DMV Newborn Care classes

Your Experts in

Newborn & Infant Care

Newborn Care Classes in your Metro DC home teach you how to bathe your baby.

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.
