BabySense class focuses on adoptive parents

Adopting a baby is exciting, but it also brings plenty of new duties and responsibilities. And as the saying goes, new babies don’t come with a manual. As part of an ongoing commitment to families, CoxHealth now offers “BabySense for Adoptive Parents” to help parents prepare for the changes a new baby brings.

The class will be held Wednesday, April 28, 6:30-9:30 p.m., in Suite 130 of the Turner Center, 1000 E. Primrose.

Hosted by the CoxHealth Women’s Center, the class is led by an experienced educator and is geared toward adoptive moms and dads.

The class teaches adoptive parents how to meet the everyday needs of their child. The course covers the basics of baby care and safety, including baby-proofing your home and car seat safety. Parents are also coached on handling crying and offering comfort to their infants, selecting childcare and more.

BabySense is open to the public, but registration is required. There is a $20 fee. For more information or to register, call 269-LADY.
