Foundations of Newborn Care: A Relational Approach

Private newborn care class in Los Angeles designed for parents who want to learn evidence-based caregiving that puts bonding with their baby first.

I teach you how to confidently support your baby through the first year using responsive, developmentally grounded caregiving inspired by RIE, attachment, and postpartum practices that center your connection with your child.

What Makes This Class Different

This class is for parents who want to understand why babies behave the way they do. The class explains how to read your baby through a relational lens, so the knowledge you gain becomes intuition you can trust. After this class, you’ll feel confident not because you have all the answers, but because you know how to find them by observing and understanding your baby.
