What Couples are Saying:
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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!!
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!
