In this course, you will learn about some of the most important aspects of assisting parents with newborn babies. The Supporting Parents of Newborn Babies Course will teach you best practises for what to expect during a newborn exam as well as how to best support parents, partners, and other caregivers. Postpartum depression, early bonding, and touch are all topics covered in this course. This course discusses the critical role of supportive partners and parents in various households, as well as the nature of that support. With each household being unique, how can we as partners, fathers, co-parents, grandparents, and other guardians effectively provide support? What, for example, are the special considerations in adoption? We conclude the four-course specialisation in Newborn Baby Care with a guest appearance by a newborn baby and a live Skills examination conducted by course instructor, Dr. Mary Kohn.
A newborn baby is a wonderful, beautiful life full of promise. There is a lot that goes into ensuring that babies are born healthy, and there is even more to think about after they are born. Whether you work in the medical field or are a parent, this course will teach you how to keep newborn babies healthy in the days and weeks following their birth!
