Useful and hands-on
We had a wonderful time practicing and learning useful skills for when our baby arrives. Really liked the hands-on aspect and the car seat info.

This class boosted my confidence
Liz was FANTASTIC. I cannot say enough good things about her! She was warm and engaging, made sure everyone was on the same page, and stayed late to answer questions. Having this class in person really boosted my confidence and made me feel less anxious about becoming a new parent. We also liked having the physical book to reference in the future if needed. I walked away feeling so much better, and less anxious than I have in weeks. Nicole and Liz, I just want to say: a huge thank you to you both!
All the basics and more
We really enjoyed the class. I appreciated Valerie’s personality – she kept things light but also very informative! My husband has less experience with babies than I do, and he felt like he has a few more tools in his tool belt for when our baby arrives. It covered all of the basics of things we wanted to know more about.
Newborn Basics stood out!
My husband and I have taken multiple virtual classes through the hospital we are delivering at, and although they were great, I sometimes found the format and timing to be a little overwhelming with the influx of information. Your Newborn Basics class stood out amongst the many hours of educational courses we’ve been doing. What really added value for me in this class was physically doing things hands-on (diapering, swaddling, etc.) and the instructor’s knowledge and personal experience.
We feel good about welcoming our baby
My husband and I really loved this class. We feel a lot better about welcoming our baby in just a few short weeks now that we have a better idea of what to expect from the newborn stage. The class materials were great and super helpful to take home and Val was an amazing instructor!
Loved the hands-on approach
I loved the hands-on approach of the in-person class. Also, Val was amazing! She answered all questions thoroughly and patiently and gave great tips for taking care of a newborn. She had a great energy.
Practical and comical
We learned so much and liked how Liz kept the content practical and comical. She had a great way of giving solid content without overwhelming nervous parents.
Hands-on, interactive, and perfect group size
Really beneficial class with helpful tips. Loved the hands-on activities, small group size and how interactive it was. Liz was great and so awesome in answering so many of our questions!
Personalized Experience
Best class!! This was our first in person class and our favorite class by far! My husband found it so informative and looks forward to learning more and attending more classes. All of our other classes were with Main Line Health, so we were happy to have the personalized experience you provide!
First-hand experience
I had been looking forward to Newborn Basics for a while but was definitely nervous that I would feel overwhelmed with the material. Liz made us feel so comfortable, and her first-hand experience both as a nurse and a mom made the material fun to learn about.
A really reassuring class
This class helped reassure us that we knew some of the basics and filled in the gaps for things we didn’t know. Very helpful to have the book to refer to when baby comes. I liked the very small, personal group. Liz was wonderful! We can’t wait for our next class!
Very engaging
Liz did a great job with Newborn Basics. Her energetic personality makes the class very engaging. The materials provided and practicing swaddling and other tasks was very helpful.
Useful hands-on training
Very good class with helpful info, and useful hands-on training. Liz was the instructor and was very detailed. She spent time with us individually to make sure we were comfortable and understood what to do.
Confidence boost
It was an amazing place to ask all of the questions to an unbiased source that wasn’t family or friends. Anyone who feels like they could use a confidence boost or feels like they’re a little overwhelmed with the process should sign up for one of their courses.
Fun and interactive
My husband and I did the Newborn Basics class with Liz and it was amazing. Liz is a great teacher and creates an extremely welcoming environment for the expecting parents. She gave a lot of information but at the same time kept it funny and interactive. I would recommend this class for anyone expecting. We really enjoyed it!
Hands-on and interactive
Newborn Basics was really beneficial with helpful tips. We liked the hands-on activities, small group size, and how interactive it was. Liz was great and so awesome in answering so many of our questions! We are looking forward to the Childbirth class next.
So happy we took this class
I never felt silly answering a question, and honestly the time flew by! I’m so happy my husband and I took this class- thank you Liz!!
