After teaching a HUG Your Baby class I really appreciated being able to see the happy mama’s leave feeling more confident in the arrival of their baby and their ability to care for them. One of the mothers was able to address her concern of not getting much rest with a new baby. I was able to discuss with the mothers about babies sleep patterns and how to insure they and their babies were getting the best sleep possible in the postpartum stages of life. The mom’s really appreciated learning about the two different patterns of sleep, deep and active/light. The mom’s were able to share about their concern to comfort their babies and after the class they all said they felt like they had some good tools available now for caring for their baby when he/she arrived. I was able to cover all subjects: zones, SOS, crying, feeding, sleeping, and playing. We all had a lot of laughter and enjoyed the process of learning. All the mothers planned to breastfeed beacause building a confident, strong, secure, and respectable relationship with their new baby was a priority. All the mothers were very pleased with the class.
