Confidence with Your Newborn Class
You don’t need to know everything about babies. You just need to trust yourself and your baby.
Step into parenthood with confidence.
If you're planning to google everything, you'll be wading through information forever. And while there's a lot of good content out there, there are also a lot of myths. This class helps you understand what generally happens with your newborn — the big picture, not every tiny detail — so you can tell what's normal, when to watch, and when to call.
What we cover
What to expect from your newborn and yourself.
✦ How newborns communicate: hunger cues, sleep cues, and what all that crying actually means
✦ Normal newborn behaviour and development: what looks alarming but isn't
✦ Feeding, sleep, and soothing: what generally works and why
✦ When to call the huisarts and when something can wait
✦ The Dutch healthcare care system: who comes in the first week, what kraamzorg covers, how the GGD/consultatiebureau work
✦ Bathing, diaper changing, and the basics with hands-on practice included
Includes the ebook Settling in with your Newborn.
Who this is for
This class is for parents who want to feel prepared without feeling overwhelmed. It's especially useful if:
✦ You've never spent much time around newborns and the idea feels slightly terrifying
✦ You're an expat and have no idea how the Dutch system works after the kraamzorg nurse leaves
✦ You want to trust your instincts but aren't sure what to trust yet

FAQs
-
Anytime in the third trimester is ideal — close enough to birth that it feels relevant, but before things get too busy. Private sessions can be arranged at short notice if needed.
-
I'd encourage it. Both parents leave with the same foundation, which makes those first weeks easier for everyone. But it's not required.
-
No, newborn care classes aren't covered by Dutch health insurance. Both formats are priced to be accessible without needing reimbursement.
-
Reach out anytime. If something comes up in those first weeks that the class covered, I'm happy to point you in the right direction.
