Baby Basics & Breastfeeding
A free class for expecting parents in Syracuse and Kaysville
Home - Free Baby Basics & Breastfeeding Class
Free Parenting Class



Becoming a parent comes with a lot of noise — conflicting advice, overwhelming articles, and well-meaning opinions from everyone around you. This class cuts through it. In two hours, you’ll sit with a Wee Care pediatrician and a registered nurse with IBCLC lactation certification, getting straight answers to the questions you actually have.
Both sessions are covered in a single evening, with snacks and drinks in between. No cost, no catch.
What the Class Covers
Most newborn content online is written for a general audience—meaning it doesn’t account for your specific situation, your questions, or the things that only come up in a real conversation with a provider. This class is built around that conversation.
A Wee Care pediatrician leads the first session. An IBCLC-certified registered nurse leads the second. Both stay for questions throughout the evening.
