Presented by The Mother Company

with Pattie Fitzgerald, Certified Child Safety Educator, November 6th at 7:30pm
For Parents of Infants to toddlers  
 
Pattie gives parents a comprehensive look at the myth of "stranger-danger,"' and why parents can better serve their kids by talking about "Tricky People!" Pattie will guide you through some simple safety rules that resonate with young children and will also help parents recognize when someone is "thumbs up or thumbs down," by identifying red flag grooming tricks and other warning signs of inappropriate people. This class will help you understand how to keep playdates and other outings safe for your children, without turning you into a helicopter parent or making you paranoid. Pattie's approach is all about common sense, listening to your "uh-oh feeling," and she does it all with a positive, friendly "mom-vibe." Call 310-998-1981 to register.
Estate Planning
with Sona A. Tatiyants and Jennifer Burnham-Grubbs
November 7 at 7pm in Santa Monica

Sona will focus her part of the workshop on addressing estate planning needs from a young family's perspective. And, while there's no such thing as "one size fits all," this basic overview is a great start in how to think about your own family's needs. Find out how to protect your minor children and assets with all the necessary estate planning documents including wills, trusts, guardian nomination for minor children, special needs trusts, and more. Jennifer will help demystify the process of obtaining life insurance and teach how to get the best value for your dollar out of a policy. Learn the difference between term life insurance and variable life insurance, and determine which kind of policy is best for your family right now. It doesn't have to cost a lot to make sure your loved ones are protected.

 

We are interested in helping people understand how important it is to address this aspect of their family affairs since too often it is something that gets put off or forgotten needlessly. Click here for more info.

For expectant couples

 

Since few babies come with instructions, this two-part class covers everything new parents need to know when bringing their baby home. In this series we cover bathing, diapering, cord and circumcision care, bottle feeding, safety tips, baby gear and equipment, infant car seats, and new parent survival tips. We will also give details regarding infant sleep states and sleeping behaviors of the newborn. Significant time is spent on mastering Harvey Karp's "Happiest Baby on the Block" soothing techniques. By learning these five S's parents will understand the most effective ways to comfort and sooth their baby, minimizing crying and maximizing everyone's sleep. The class includes the Happiest Baby on the Block "Super-Soother" Sounds CD. Call 323-469-5300 to register.

For soon-to-be-Moms, couples are encouraged to attend!
November 7th from 6:30pm-9:30pm

Producing breast milk is natural, yet the art of latching the baby onto the breast is learned. This class is taught by Certified Lactation Consultants and provides clear, accurate breastfeeding information for the "soon-to-be" new mother.

We cover breastfeeding expectations, strategies for success and how to avoid complications. Topics include breastfeeding techniques, various nursing positions and comfort holds, maternal diet considerations, nipple care, leaking, tips for Dad feedings, and the advantages of human milk over supplementation. Discussion includes the various breast pumps for purchase or rental. We answer all your questions, including the all-important one: "How do I know my baby is getting enough?"
