About the class
This class is recommended for parents, grandparents, nannies. babysitters, childcare providers and anyone caring for an infant. The primary emphasis of the class is on injury prevention, and also includes learning how and when to administer CPR to an infant. You will learn common choking hazards and demonstrate how to rescue an infant who has an airway obstruction. We discuss ways to baby-proof your home, reduce the risk of SIDS, and consider how safety challenges change as babies develop and explore. This class is taught by a Certified Childbirth Educator, a Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician and an American Heart Association Certified CPR Instructor, but does not result in CPR certification. Information provided in class builds confidence and skills, while NOT presenting content from a fear-based perspective. This interactive, virtual class is engaging, dynamic and active, and presented so that the information is easy to remember and apply if needed.
