During Childbirth class tonight we talked about infant care. We talked about how to hold, feed, burp, dress, change and wash the baby, and how to do a few different swaddling techniques.
It was a good class and pretty informative, however, the baby dolls they have us use are really not very realistic at all. Of course, it's easier to do all this stuff with a baby doll that doesn't move/wiggle around and who doesn't need it's head to be supported. And then again, in some ways it was more difficult, because these dolls are stiff and not flexible like a real baby so dressing them and holding them was much more awkward.
Mike seemed to be a pro with the dolls, so I'm hoping that it transfers over to the real thing too. I'm just lucky he's been through this once before :)
