Course Breakdown

Every session weaves together the big three: sleep, feeding, and development, through the lens of where you and your baby actually are right now. Red flags are woven into every session so you always know what is normal and when it is time to call us.

Timeline

Session 1: Welcome to the Fourth Trimester (Baby 2-4 weeks)

Your baby has never experienced the outside world. You have never experienced this. Let's start there.

Why newborn sleep looks nothing like you expected, and what to do about it
Feeding fundamentals: breast, bottle, formula, and everything in between
What is normal and what is a red flag, the questions that worry you

Session 2: Finding Your Footing (Baby 4-6 weeks)

You are starting to find a rhythm. And then your baby changes everything. Again.

The 6-week fussiness peak: what it is, why it happens, and how to survive it
Tummy time, reflexes, and how your baby interacts with the world
Sleep and feeding are starting to shift: here is what to expect

Session 3: Hitting Your Stride (Baby 8-10 weeks)

You know your baby now. They are becoming a person right in front of you.

The 8-week development explosion: social smiling, alertness, personality
Sleep patterns emerging: how to support and work with them
Feeding at two months: what is changing and what that means for you
Taking care of yourself, because the captain of this ship needs care too

Session 4: Re-entering the World (Baby 10-12 weeks)

Life is expanding. Let's make sure you are ready.

Childcare: how to find it, evaluate it, and trust your gut
Returning to work: the logistics, the emotions, and the mental load
Pumping at work: what you actually need to know
Closing circle: how far you have come as a family

Q&A sessions

The class is intended to be conversational. We will end each session with protected time for Q&A

Your village starts here.

At The Children's Clinic we believe that choosing your pediatrician is one of the most important decisions you will make for your family. The First Three Months: All the Things is our way of showing you exactly who we are, before your baby even arrives.
