February Classes for Families
Feb 04, 2023 8:12 pm
Hello Friends,
Practically Perfect is offering a few ways to prepare for the birth of babies, as well as preparing to feed and play with your baby once they have arrived!
This work out class will be pelvic floor and abdominal muscle friendly for new parents and any caregivers who would like to attend. Bring your own baby, ages newborn - 18 months welcome!
Please join Dr. Mora Pluchino on Sunday, 2/12 at 10 am for a hands on, interactive, practical class preparing you to deliver your baby. This class will have several offerings this year if you need birth preparation a little later into the year. This can be your first birth or your seventh and we're sure you'll still learn some new trick!
Preparing for Your Birth Story is a birthing class designed with your pelvic floor, a couple's health and empowerment for your birth experience in mind.
We will review traditional birth class topics including:
Pelvic Anatomy 101
Perineal Massage
Signs and Stages of Labor
What to Expect when Arriving to Deliver
Labor Activities and Positions
Comfort Measures
Possible Complications
Hospital Bag Prep
Postpartum Care
Mental Health/ Relationship Support
Putting it all together: Birth Plan
Why: Childbirth education helps to increase confidence for labor and delivery, improves the success of lactation (if this is a goal), aids in communication with the healthcare team and leads to informed decision making for expecting parents. Childbirth preparation also allows the partner to be an active participant in all aspects of care allowing them to care for the birthing parent and newborn baby!
Cost: $125 per couple *$100 if registered by early bird date (EBD)
We are also so excited to have Alexa DuVilla, CBS from the Little Milky Way presenting Breastfeeding Basics. If you sign up for this class you will learn about the benefits of feeding your baby human milk, the first 24 hours with your newborn, effective latch and positioning, identifying feeding cues and infant fullness, the transition of milk, and newborn nutrition requirements. You will also learn about pumping, proper flange fittings, and milk expression techniques.
