RIE Parenting From the Beginning

Expectant parents are wise to be well-prepared (or as prepared as humanly possible) for the exciting change in their lives.  I am happy to announce that there is still availability in the next Before Baby course, a new program offered by Resources for Infant Educarers (RIE) in Los Angeles.

The Before Baby course can help you to start off with confidence in yourself as a parent and in your baby’s unique ability to show you the way. Classes cover topics such as:

   · Creating an infant-oriented environment in your home
   · Diapering, bathing and feeding your baby respectfully
   · Synchronizing baby’s needs and parents’ wants
   · Crying and parents’ responses
   · Sleep, for parents and babies

The first months of a baby’s life are so fleeting and so important. Before Baby can help make life with your baby easier and more enjoyable for everyone.

“[F]or expectant parents… I am aware that now you are preoccupied with the birth of your baby, and everything that happens afterwards may seem remote and intangible. Yet this is the ideal time to become acquainted with some basic RIE ideas… it is [easier] to develop good habits from the beginning than to undo and change ‘bad’ habits later.”

– Magda Gerber, RIE Founding Director
