Pediatric group offers baby classes

Published 4:00 am Friday, December 7, 2012

Central Oregon Pediatric Associates is offering a new series of classes to help teach parents infant care, called “Baby Care ABCs for Expectant Parents.”

The classes are taught by longtime local childbirth educator Anne Carlson. The classes will focus on things such as burping, diapering, dressing and swaddling. How to bathe a newborn and how to cut fingernails will also be included. Participants will practice infant CPR for choking (it is not a CPR certification class). Car seats and family pets will also be discussed.

The class will take place from noon to 4:30 p.m. Sunday at COPA’s west Bend location, 1820 N.W. Monterey Drive, Bend. Cost is $49 per couple.
