Infant classes are a great way for new parents to learn the basics of how to take care of their baby. There are so many things that are taught at infant classes. Couples who have children can benefit from them as well. Most hospitals offer some type of infant classes for parents that include a tour of the maternity floor.

One of the things that parents will learn when they go to an infant class is how to bathe baby. They will learn how to do this in the hospital after the baby is born, but it helps if they know some of the basics before the baby arrives. A doll is normally used as an example in the class. Each couple will pretend to bathe the doll as if it was a real baby. They will use water and a small bathtub to wash the doll and then put a clean diaper on it.

After parents have learned how to bathe their baby, they will learn about feeding and dressing the baby. If the mother is breastfeeding, the details will be discussed so the mother is comfortable in her decision. The instructors will also discuss the different types of formula that babies can drink. Information will be given about how often to feed the baby and how to burp the baby after they have finished a bottle. Parents will also learn how to dress their baby in a diaper and clothing.

When the infant classes are finished, the parents will be taken on a tour of the maternity floor. They will see the delivery rooms and the nursery. If they have other children, they will be allowed to see the area as well. The more information that parents can gather before the baby is born, the better prepared they will be when the baby arrives.

What response would be most helpful to a human infant who is hungry A feed the infant B rock the infant but give no bottle or breast C pat the infant but give no bottle or breast?

A hungry infant fusses and cries. Studies have shown that "women are more likely than men to feel sympathy when they hear an infant cry, and are more likely to want to care for the infant." The study showed that men tend to just block out the crying and have no response to the infant. A hungry infant needs FED. Keep the infant safe in the crib or in someone's arms while you prepare a bottle, or prepare to nurse the baby. Hungry babies should not be left to cry for long periods; a baby should be fed as soon as possible. There is a huge difference between a fussy non-hungry infant and a crying hungry infant. Infants literally can feel pain from being hungry. On the other hand, a baby who was fed within an hour before crying started is more likely to be having gassy pains from a full belly or difficulty digesting milk. It is critical that parents, especially mothers, learn to distinguish and interpret their babies' types of crying. No baby or child should be denied food as punishment for crying to have their needs met, or to have food withheld because they are messy eaters. Withholding food is child neglect AND abuse and are criminal offenses. No infant should be left to cry until the baby sounds "desperate" or exhausted. If you are nursing and your baby does not nurse well, or still seems hungry soon after nursing, consult your doctor.
