Baby Basics Class

Hendra and I went to Baby Basics Class offered by John Muir today.

This basic course teaches what every parent should know about caring for their newborn. Hands on practice with diapering and swaddling. Receive information regarding normal newborn appearance, behavior and practical parenting tips.

It was from 6:30pm to 9:30pm.
We got a lot of information in this two hours!
We learned how to change diapers, what diapers to get, what we should watch out for. I never knew that we shoudn't use baby powder. Apparently recent studies show that baby powder can cause breathing problems and serious lung damage when inhaled by the baby. Hmm .... didn't we all use baby powder when we're babies?? hwehehe ...

We also learned to swaddle. Haiz. .. I need to practice more. I sucked. Kriput2 smua blanketnya. ... This is not the same as wrapping gifts ya. .. haha

There's also a slide show about how newborns look like, what procedure will take place, what symptoms to look out for, etc etc. We talked about what to do in the first month, how to see baby's personality, when to call the doctor, etc etc.
Two hours went by just like that.
So quick.
So much info.
Good thing there's a handout. haha ...
