So we went to our first baby class on Sunday! It was so much fun - very informative and somewhat overwhelming. They covered everything in 4 1/2 hours: what to expect after birth (a little intimidating), how to tell when to call a doctor, signs for infection, how to bathe, feed, etc.
And even though i have heard most of this from school, when she got to the part about SIDS-it still freaked me out. Almost everything could play a role: from a stranger in the parking lot smoking a cigarette to soft objects.
I walked out feeling like, to care for my own child, i need to wear a sterile outfit and plan to do absolutely nothing but feed and watch him.
Being the studious person that i am, i of course went home and typed the notes. This made me feel a little better because i could group everything the nurse talked about and able to make more realistic since out of everything.
