Welcome to UConn Health Parenting "Welcome Home Baby!" Registration Page!
Prepare for your baby's first weeks with confidence! Join us for a free, interactive, one-session group designed specifically for expectant parents currently in their third trimester who are delivering at UConn. This class bridges the gap between prenatal preparation and hands-on strategies when caring for a newborn baby. Gain practical experience using life-like infant simulation dolls to learn the essentials: holding, feeding positions, burping, soothing strategies, swaddling, and diapering your newborn. Discover techniques to read your baby's cues and build a secure, loving attachment from day one. Led by Terri Ayala, Parent Educator, Lactation Counselor, Certified Educator of Infant Massage, and Infant Mental Health Specialist, this class focuses on developmental connection and daily baby care simulation. Medical questions regarding pregnancy or infant health care will be directed to your OB/GYN or pediatrician.
