This class is designed for older siblings who want to help care for the new baby.  We will teach children how to provide basic care of their new brother or sister.  We will practice how to safely hold, diaper, dress and swaddle the baby, and much more.

This class is for siblings 9 years and older.  Register early in pregnancy; a waiting list will be established to form a class.  The fee is $20 per child and $10 for each additional child.

Please email childbirthed@lfh.org or call (847) 535-6182 if you are interested in registering your child for this class.
