Postpartum and Baby Care Curriculum

All-in-one guide for planning and teaching postpartum and newborn care classes!

The Postpartum and Baby Care Curriculum gives educators and facilitators a ready-to-use, evidence-based roadmap for preparing families for the critical weeks after birth. Built around our Plan → Teach → Support framework, it delivers detailed lesson plans, facilitator guidance, discussion prompts, and hands-on activities. This helps you create meaningful, practical classes with significantly less preparation time.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

This is the Curriculum only. PowerPoint slides and parent guidebooks are available separately or as part of the full Postpartum and Baby Care Starter Package. Purchase those separately if you want visual aids for teaching and take-home resources for parents. This curriculum integrates with either the classic or Baby-Friendly parent guidebooks and pairs perfectly with our Childbirth Curriculum for a seamless pregnancy-to-postpartum teaching series.
