Pregnancy and baby classes
AHA friends and family CPR
This course is designed for non-healthcare providers/lay rescuers (expecting parents, family members, babysitters, or anyone who wants to learn CPR but doesn’t need it for a job). This course teaches lay rescuers how to recognize and treat life-threatening emergencies, including cardiac arrest and a choking adult, child and infant victim. It also demonstrates and provides practice with an AED for an adult and child cardiac arrest victim. Course cards are in the back of the student book.
Baby basics
This class focuses on teaching you how to care for your newborn when you bring them home from the hospital and the transition period between newborn and infant. The class discusses feeding, diapering, swaddling techniques, soothing, bathing, safety and when to call the doctor. This is a hands-on class with demonstrations and time to practice. This class does not include Infant CPR – please register separately for that class.
